Anyways, so many problems could be fixed if people just talked to each other. Most of the major plot points are miscommunications which I find boring and not creative?
The main character is annoying. I wasn’t rooting for her. I really liked Luke and Pete and Jodie! Everyone else seemed flimsy or shallow.
I did enjoy the twists - some things were very Jerry Springer. Always a fan of Springer. The book was a 2 until Springer things showed up!

It is very unrealistic for a serial killer to stalk some victims and kill some victims. Stalking could escalate to killing, but it wouldn’t be an every other pattern like the book suggested. It was a convenient way to make the plot work.
