I had most of it figured out quicker than expected, but it kept my attention throughout and surprised a couple times.

This is definitely a slow burn, like the first major twist comes about 75% of the way through the book. I did struggle with this a few times due to it being kind of slow but honestly once I got to the major twist it was worth it. Like now that I think about what the twist was it does seem a bit predictable but I did like it. The twists and turns continue after that reveal and honestly I felt like some of them were just a little too much but overall I enjoyed the book and look forward to reading more by Alice Feeney

Bob is too good for all of these terrible people. Every other character was trash.

The Twist was unexpected, and it certainly kept me reading. However, given how character driven this story was I needed to be able to connect and like at least one of them. Even just a little.

The writing was fine. Very readable, if needlessly and unrealistically cryptic. But that comes with the genre, so I can't fault it too much.

I have some Thoughts on the ending so Spoilers ahead:

Spoiler

Two separate people being this obsessed with a man? Who by all accounts seems like a completely self interested ass? The fuck? Unbelievable. Could never be me.

Especially when Adam and Robin get back together ???? Like ???? Girl psychologically tortured, then stabbed your wife? I know you didn't like your wife much but still. Can you ever trust that person again? Let alone think "everything inside her is beautiful"? What more can we expect from Adam I guess.

Amelia wasn't a good person at all, but I don't think she deserved what happened to her.

Also literally what was the point of the last chapter. It added nothing.
