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.

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 🥲

Quite dark in places I would say also.
I really enjoy Alice Feeney’s writing style, it is so easy to read.
Highly recommend.

What the fuck did I just read?
I thought
The book is a decent ride until the last 15 or so percent in which everything falls apart in an entirely uncomfortable (to put it mildly) way. And I am normally not one to get squeamish about taboo topics and depictions. But what editor let this mess of left-field ending featuring INCEST make it to print?
Seriously, I just want to talk. Mostly to a therapist, but said editor and Feeney need to come with me to pay for the services I now need.
