It was okay, an easy book to get into without much depth.

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.

• this writing style is PERFECT for a thriller
• 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

Not sure if I can say I liked it.
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 🥲

Holy moly, this is my third book from Alice Feeny, and while I’m definitely noticing a theme, I am never prepared for the twists and turns she crafts. I feel  like most of her books have serious trigger warnings, so tread carefully. Despite the often heinous nature of the books, her writing is quite excellent. Her imagery is amazing and I feel like I’m in the scenes. The particular twist at the end really through me for a loop and literally disgusted me so I feel compelled to deduct a star for that, but overall excellent thriller as usual

Book was almost decent until that disgusting twist at the end.. it made the whole story far fetched as well.
