IDK WHAT I WAS EXPECTING BUT IT WAS NOT THAT. I loved this book so much! Ava’s character was so complex and wonderful. The office humor was so good and I just loved how this portrayed grief and friendship in a millennial world

The last 100 pages were so much more interesting than the first 300. Almost quit reading as it got so dull In the middle. I would have enjoyed this more had the twist been hinted at much earlier and been a slow burn, rather than such a quick plot twist at the very end.

I actually didn't see the twist in this book coming, which is a plus. It was recommended by a coworker who compared it to "You" by Caroline Kepnes. While it can be slow and sometimes repetitive, the protagonist is interesting enough, and the plot keeps you interested for the most part. Aside from it sometimes getting a little boring, I enjoyed it enough to suggest it to anyone who likes books that take a little while to get to the point.

Creepy enough to compel my reading, but also overly contrived and predictable. A realistic level of queer community which is nice.
