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!

I feel bad because I like the IG of the author, but this just wasn't for me at all. I'm hate the "not like other girls" trope, I really hate when I'm asked to believe things like a fully grown man would call mascara "that black stuff she puts on her eyelashes," and it all just felt really...scripted. I'll probably try Ms. Rose again to see if this book was just not my thing.
