If you told me an eighth grader wrote this after learning about similes, metaphors, and allegories—while also discovering smut for the first time—I would believe you! It would make sense. I’m BEGGING you to go look at my highlights. I was actually selective about the mind boggling quotes I chose to feature.
I cannot count the amount of entire-face-double-takes I did while listening to this. The writing style is just so strange, nonsensical, and cringey without being the least bit charming. Did AI “help” with this? I literally cannot fathom an adult coming up with these phrases and then publishing them in a book. I’ve read another title by this author and it was not like this at all, so I’m very confused.
Sorry/you’re welcome to all my friends and family who received screenshots of this one. I was listening to the audio and had to check out the ebook to send them proof of this insanity.
If I have to read “blue, blue eyes” ONE MORE TIME 🔪🩸
Also, I called this “twist” if it can even be called that. Good riddance. I can’t believe this is real.

I really like the idea of starting out the book as a romance and slowly leading it into more of a suspense/thriller plot. Although I didn't completely predict all of the ending, I did predict a lot of it.
Grace ends up at a secluded ranch with no cell service, working wifi, and a broken down car. At first all seems ok as she beings to get to know Calvin. Calvin quickly becomes obsessed with Grace and we see him do anything he can to keep her close.
I liked that we got the dual povs so we could understand what was going on in both their minds. But we find out that
But he's not the only one who has a secret.

As for the book in general, it moved so slow until the last 30 minutes (listened to the audiobook). There was nothing in the first 80% of the book to suggest these people were who they ended up being, so the “twist” (again, super confused…) just came out of nowhere… literally.

CONTAINS SPOILERS!!
Grace arrives at Calvin’s AirBnB for her annual vacation/totally off-the-grid escape from reality. Right away she notices that things feel “off” but stays TEN days as things get progressively MUCH worse because she’s hot for the owner, who says she’s “HIS” and “wants this to never end.” What could go wrong???
All this to say, this IS a good book and a worthwhile read, just not what I was looking for.

Even though I saw the twist coming, I still had a fun time with this book!
Every year, Grace picks a random town in the US to visit for a week just to get away from her busy life in New York. This year, Grace is staying in Wyoming and finds herself renting a room from Calvin--a handsome country man. But there's something about Calvin's house and ranch that seem... off. There's no cell service, one of Calvin's previous renters is missing, and Calvin's friends and family are very off-putting. Grace is starting to wonder if she's going to ever make it out of Wyoming.
You Shouldn't Have Come Here is a twisty mystery/thriller with a dual POV. Having already read The Perfect Marriage by Jeneva Rose, I did kind of see the plot twist coming, but the ride to get there, and the ending itself, was still a lot of fun! The atmosphere of the novel was overall suspenseful and creepy, which I thoroughly enjoyed.
I read this as an audiobook and am glad I did so since it kept my attention more than I think the physical book would have.
