I loved this book. It’s incredibly straightforward which makes the multiple twists hard to see coming. I didn’t give it 5 stars because it was a little too straightforward and some of the twists were pretty easy to guess, but it is an incredibly dark story and a hard book to put down.

I hate read this book… it was my choice for book club this month so I felt obligated to finish it. But boy did I not enjoy this book. I definitely seem to be in the minority, so I’m glad it’s working for most people. 

I saw the main “twist” from the first 50pgs. I did not appreciate people thinking with their sex drive rather than their brain. The ending was so convoluted & unrealistic. I have so many tabs throughout the entire book noting things that make no sense (to me). 

I dunno… I’m sad it didn’t work for me because so many people love it.
