I was initially drawn to this book because of the premise. It seemed to deal with some themes that I haven't really read before. Unfortunately, I can't say this was my favorite. While the story was fine, the characters were unlikable and it was difficult to find someone to root for. I also felt like the female main character was very one dimensional and have little to no complexity.

Sebenrnya idenya bagus banget gila. Volunteer layanan yg seharusnya mencegah penelponya bunuh diri tapi tokoh utamanya malah menggunakan itu untuk bujuk orang bunuh diri.

Cuma aku ga suka cara penulisannya. Terlalu bertele tele dengan detail yg kurang terasa penting. 

Enggak deh.. Mungkin detail nya penting tp penulisannya ga bisa buat aku attach sama detail detail tersebut. Sehingga setengah buku pertama tuh bosen banget. Apalagi pov dari Laura, rasanya mau skip aja tp penting detailnya, ya tapi kok ngebosenin. hufthh 😞

Baru mulai seru ketika setengah buku terakhir. Plot twistnya juga ga gimana gimana cuma memang membagongkan.
Dan Ending yg aku ga puasssss. Huhu.

Tapi memang thrilling bnget sih baca buku ini tuh, berhasil buat aku gedeg sendiri, gregetan sendiri dari awal ampe akhir.

I absolutely loved this book. It was a wonderful thriller. The characters were perfect and the story was well written. I hooked all the way to the end.

cookieclutter's review

While I was enjoying the book, I

had a suspicion the ending would not pay out for the amount of mind games being played between the characters. It was getting in the way of me enjoying the book so I glanced at the last few chapters and decided it was not worth continuing. I wasn't necessarily wanting a happy ending, more so wanting to see Laura getting her just deserts but I didn't feel that happened so I decided to DNF

. Not sure if any of those were spoilers but it was a major factor for me DNF this book.
