Almost immediately, I kept saying, "you've only known him/her for x amount of days!!" Things were so ridiculous in how quickly they moved with the characters, and yet still, nothing was happening! And seriously, that ending? THAT was the twist? It just had me rolling my eyes.
The only reason I even finished the book was because I rented it from the library on audiobook during a long drive and needed something to listen to.
Oh, and if I had to hear "her blue blue eyes" ONE MORE TIME!!!!! (Stay tuned for the total number count after I get the digital copy from libby and can search for the amount of times it was said)

And boy did it! The last 20minutes of the book were wild! And thankfully the twist felt worth it, satisfying and fun. And full of feminine rage! Grateful the talented Teddy Hamilton/Andrew Eisner narrated. It helped keep me motivated and his chapters at the end really shined.
So a 2 star and a 5 star average out to a 4 star for me. Half way thru I swore I wouldn’t read another of this authors books and now I think I have to give one more a try!
I also feel that this story would have been phenomenal has a short story or a novella!

The suspense was nonexistent, the mfc was beyond stupid to the point where it wasn't even believable anymore ("why hasn't my Airbnb host told me how his parents died, he's totally keeping secrets!!", "omg he lied about liking Brussel sprouts!!!") and the advertised twist was not a twist for anyone who's ever read a thriller before. It was until about the 80% mark before anything suspenseful even happened, despite how often the mfc thought to herself how off everything felt. Please, for the love of god, SHOW don't tell!
Add to this a poorly placed smut scene (why. who wants that in a thriller), mmc whose only purpose seems to be to repeat how much he desires the mfc and some unnecessary and very gory dream scenes and you've got yourself a one-star-shouldn't-have-bothered-with-why-was-this-even-published novel!
