What a twist! I should know what to expect from Riley Sager by now, but it always catches me off guard. Loved this one.

Loved all the twists and turns, but I’m not sure the

supernatural element

was necessary or explained that well. Also don’t think alcohol/alcoholism needed to be featured as heavily (felt like every page) for readers to understand the point.

This was an easy and fun read. The twists didn’t hit me very hard but they were enough to keep me invested.

Trigger warning for alcoholism! There are some darker elements to the book as well. Overall a great read. The pace was good, characters pretty interesting although annoying at times, and the plot was pretty good too! The ending irritated me a little bit but overall I’m glad I read it. A solid thriller.
