I’m glad it was fast-paced because it wasn’t as good as it could’ve been. Kitty wasn’t a very likeable main character. I am comparing it to Sweetpea, which tbf the author does mention she got inspiration from, but it didn’t quite itch the same scratch

Started this book at 1 a.m. during my exam weeks. Huge mistake! Couldn‘t put it down and actually spoiled myself as to who the stalker was to even go to sleep. Needless to say I basically finished the book in a day. The characters are not really loveable but oddly charming and the dark humour was right up my alley.

I‘m really glad Kitty doesn’t get caught
