It was okay, an easy book to get into without much depth.

I think the twist was obvious from early on, and the writing was slightly repetitive and stultified.

I think there are some plot holes that haven’t been answered too… surely the police wouldn’t have left it there? Why didn’t she tell the police about her childhood? It’s implied she kills a rival actor but why? As her agent says, she’s received plenty of job offers anyway.

• this writing style is PERFECT for a thriller
• the twists actually got me & that’s a hard thing to do at this point 
• the characters have a lot of support/backstory to their actions but I could’ve used a little more 😬
• I know this is probably the goal, but the setting, characters, plots & descriptions made me feel grimy (definitely check your trigger warnings for this one)
• I felt like the dual timeline was a really effective way to tell this story & it flowed smoothly
• the narration on the audiobook was absolutely incredible
• definitely got to the end and wanted to go back through everything I’d just read to make sense of everything

Check the trigger warnings before reading (there is a spoiler in them but there's lots of major trigger potential things in this book that it's important).

I could not put this down but oh my it's the most twisted thing I've ever read. Truly disturbing but fantastically written, kept me guessing and guessing. I thought it could be who it was but dismissed it as too ridiculous!

At first I was really into the novel, but I found the ending really disturbing and gross. I feel like there were way better twists that could have explained what had happened.

dark sad

3.0

Not sure if I can say I liked it.
To be honest, most of the book is actually excellent and suspenseful. When I was at 70% of it I thought it must be a five stars read.
But when the truth of the mystery is revealed, GOD SAVE ME! It's simply disgustingly perverted that I almost vomit.
Now, I really need a good Rom-Com to recover from this 🥲
