What could have been better?
There were parts that were super slow and the book felt pretty predictable. Also I feel like sometimes there were triggers for triggers sake?
What I enjoyed?
I came in with pretty low expectations because I HATED Girl on The Train so this was better for me than that.
BUT after I got about halfway I thought it was faster paced and got more entertaining. I think, while a bit predictable at times and very triggering, the book developed well and had some suspense that I enjoyed. Also the multiple POVs helped keep my interest.
I’ve seen a lot of mixed reviews about this book but I fall somewhere in the middle! Overall, it was entertaining but not the best thriller I’ve ever read.
