It really is a good story and I love the ending. Such a beautifully made plot leaving you with goosebumps. 

There has been moments where I've felt disgust, sadness, anger and awe to the stories. 

The only thing I wish, is that I was aware of how graphic and sexual some of the content was... Which made me skip some lines here and there.

Eitherway, it's an amazing story which I recommend. The plot is well made and at the end you won't know what is true and what is not.

This book really creeped me out and the mystery of it all kept me going. Much more disturbing than I anticipated. I predicted some of it but was definitely surprised (and perplexed) by the ending. Authors: please STOP glorifying and/or downplaying abuse, SA, coercion, stalking... She glorifies and downplays SA, coercion, and other blurry/icky sexual behavior on multiple occasions throughout this book. Likely won't read another Colleen Hoover book because of that.

dark tense

4.5

Wowww twisty, twisty, twisty. That’s really all I can even think because this … I don’t even know what to believe. Wild. Crazy. Last 50 got me. 
Felt a lot like Rebecca. But creepier.

This thriller kept me on my toes! I was hooked from the first chapter and couldn't put the book down once I started reading. I finished in 2 days, probably would have been one if I would have started earlier in the day. It was my first thriller and I really enjoyed it and look forward to reading more thrillers in the future. The romance that transpires between the FMC and MMC was unexpected but very much enjoyable. Overall a great read and the plot, lets just say THICK.  10/10 would recommend!

This book is fucked up. 
Yes the ending was one hell of a plot twist but I don't know what I think of it. 

At least this book made me understand trigger warnings..
