I feel nothing and not in a good way. This was just really underwhelming.
Besides, it kept spoiling a bunch of mystery novels that I would've liked to read --> not fun

4.0

This is the best thriller that I have read in a while. Using a severely unreliable narrator was a great way for the author to conceal the plot twists, and there were a lot. There were some very dark themes in this book, but I liked the cyclical aspect and how everything truly connected. It was intense and crazy.

2.0

i honestly never expect anything from the books i'm reading, but especially when the recommendations come from tiktok. i'd heard people rave about this one and despite not expecting anything i was still disappointed. i kept waiting for something interesting to happen. the protagonist is insufferable. absolutely could not stand him. the ONLY plus sides were that the minor characters weren't too bad, and there was a cat who stays safe and sound throughout the entire novel. 2 stars for the cat.
