I think the twist was obvious from early on, and the writing was slightly repetitive and stultified.
I think there are some plot holes that haven’t been answered too… surely the police wouldn’t have left it there? Why didn’t she tell the police about her childhood? It’s implied she kills a rival actor but why? As her agent says, she’s received plenty of job offers anyway.

• the twists actually got me & that’s a hard thing to do at this point
• the characters have a lot of support/backstory to their actions but I could’ve used a little more 😬
• I know this is probably the goal, but the setting, characters, plots & descriptions made me feel grimy (definitely check your trigger warnings for this one)
• I felt like the dual timeline was a really effective way to tell this story & it flowed smoothly
• the narration on the audiobook was absolutely incredible
• definitely got to the end and wanted to go back through everything I’d just read to make sense of everything
content warnings:
• incest
• child abuse
• animal cruelty/death
• rape/sexual assault
• pedophilia

I could not put this down but oh my it's the most twisted thing I've ever read. Truly disturbing but fantastically written, kept me guessing and guessing. I thought it could be who it was but dismissed it as too ridiculous!

To be honest, most of the book is actually excellent and suspenseful. When I was at 70% of it I thought it must be a five stars read.
But when the truth of the mystery is revealed, GOD SAVE ME! It's simply disgustingly perverted that I almost vomit.
Now, I really need a good Rom-Com to recover from this 🥲
