Layne knows how to write but I have problems with the whole 'anti-man' culture. You can't convince me that every man around the protagonists were misogynist and abuser. Although I liked the short chapters and fairly first pace, some times the plot went all over the place. Everyone was kissing and fking everyone. It was too unrealistic in my point.

The ending was also a fantasy. None can get away easily from their karma. Also,I predicted the big twist around the 20% of the book and it just spoiled the fun part for me.
Also I hated Allison. I couldn't understand Carly's obsession with her. Too frustrating in my point. But as I told before,Layne knows how to get in people's nerve through her protagonist and she succeeded very much.

First book in a while that has kept me up at night reading! So I think that's deserving of four stars. I don't usually read thrillers, but this one kept me captivated until the very end even despite if it sometimes feels a little tropey. Also the plottwist in the middle!!! I gasped out loud.

Unbelievably good.

I don't state that lightly, this had flaws but none of the flaws could have taken away the rating I gave this.

Carly, a young woman in her first year away from her abusive father, gets paired into a dorm with a older student; Allison. She's everything Carly wants to be, and Carly is protective.

Scarlett, a English professor with a hidden motive, she's a murderer. Not just anyone however, men who deserve it.

I loved the LGBTQAI+ representation, and it wasn't portrayed as taboo like some books do it. The characters were unique, I especially loved Mikayla and Wes, both well written background/side characters with bigger roles near the ending.

I did not expect that twist half way through and i am honestly so surprised, it's so different.
