It’s hard for me to rate this book. I enjoyed the mystery for the most part, although it did linger a bit too long. I did guess most of the “plot twist.” I’m not an exceptional guesser but the hints throughout the book made it fairly obvious.

That said, upon reflection there are still major plot holes in the book. Like how do characters fall in love with each other in a few days?! So many other unexplained events. The ending didn’t tie up all the loose ends. As a result it was not particularly satisfying and felt a bit rushed.

It was a quick read and kept me entertained so it gets a 3 from me.

This is the third audiobook I’ve ever listened to all the way through and I liked the narrators regular voices. BUT when each narrator tried to imitate voices of other characters it was very offputting. I wish they stuck with their normal voices.

thoughts

shes not like other girls vibes 24/7.
constantly looking up each other bodies.
half the mmc lines/thoughts were “you alright?” “those blue blue eyes” “shes different.”
85% of it felt like a more if dark romance book more than a thriller.

lost interest quickly bc of all this so i didn’t even care how it ended 🤷‍♀️

2 stars is because I am excited to have listened through this book do quickly as it truly was captivating and I had no idea what would happen. I would say “I never saw that coming” but that is usually associated with an OMG shocker- that usually makes me look positive upon a book. For this book, my reactions were “uh.”, “what is going on?”, “this makes absolutely no sense” and “nope”. Also the misogyny is through the roof but I think I now see why that was done, but it sure did not help.

i was going to rate this book lower, but then i read the ending. and holy shit. (some people might be able to guess it, but i sure as hell didn’t)

the writing style was not always my favorite, and there was a bit of cringe in some of the dialogue and the way the characters were written. but all of that was blown out of the water by the insane ending that i would not have guessed.

if you’ll excuse me, i’ll be thinking about this book for several days now.
