I was genuinely surprised by the way this book was written. Unlike a lot of thrillers, I found this one to be beautifully written, focusing more in depth on the characters and their feelings. It was dark, gore, disgusting, but I couldn’t put it down. It’s the type of book where you love to hate the characters. The end was chef kiss

This book fell flat for me. Kind of disappointing since because of all the good things I had heard about the book. The twists weren’t a shocker to me as everything that happened I predicted which was good because of the foreshadowing but I shouldn’t find myself guessing every twist. :/
