LMAO I screamed when I finished this book because ultimately, I support women's wrongs. 

I read this in one sitting, and I suspected the ending because I am perpetually suspicious of everyone, and even though I wasn't exactly shocked, I was still delighted to see I was right. 

This would be a fun one for a longer plane ride, or simply a beach read. It was a lot of fun to speed through in one sitting!

Well this was a waste of time. I knew it before I'd even reached the halfway point but for some reason I persevered.

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!

This book was slow with virtually no payoff. It was predictable and boring. I wouldn’t even call this a slow burn. More like a slow disappointment.

This book is my first by this author and im afraid to read another one. This book made me cringe soooo many times while reading it. I dont know if i will ever look at food, rhe same way again. I seriously was hoping this book would be good. It had sooo much potential but it fell flat for me. The ending should have been sprinkled throughout the book. Also, Grace was so disgusting at the end. Why did you need to be like that??? Im giving this book 3 stars. It literally felt like a creepy cringy romance for the first 250 pages. #jenevarose #dissappointment #somuchpotential
