I don't think I liked it. Like it was good, well written, and the twists were twisty. But I still didn't actually like the story. I wasn't rooting for anyone, they could've all died and I wouldn't have cared. 
Also, too many chapters ended with something cryptic and dark but it happened so often that it lost the punch. 

Robin and Adam were both fucking crazy tho, they deserve each other

I thought this was good but I liked Daisy Darker better. I love wintry thrillers and thrillers set in confined spaces and it was great for those aspects but the characters grated on me and the twists were just....less is more sometimes, no?

made me uneasy and curious the whole way through and that ending wow. I need to buy a physical copy of this to simply reread and highlight and take notes in the margins. very pleased with the pacing and the seemingly endless twists at the end. all I ever want a thriller to be <3

As a married woman, I am glad that my husband and I never exchanged the typical anniversary gifts. Though, it was very warming to read the letters describing the anniversaries at first, as the years go by the letters just kept getting more and more sad. Twists and turns led these two back together though.
