my dumbass thought this would be like such a fun age. it was so freaky and well written. i kind of wish i hadn’t read it. but i finished it in less than 24 hours so i guess it’s not boring at least.

4.0

È stato bello leggerlo, ma speravo in qualcosa di più nel finale. Un climax  per poi arrivare al niente. L’autrice si è basata su un fatto vero di cronaca però speravo in qualcosa di più che un libro che risultata essere esclusivamente di cronaca. Do 3 perché è comunque intrigante, forse sono state le varie recensioni che ho letto a definirlo con un genere sbagliato, perché appunto più che mistero e thriller risulta essere una cronaca. L’avessi letto con quell’idea l’avrei apprezzato di più.
