• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

I started this one accidentally because I had another book with the same title on my to-read list. It’s a pretty messed up story, and for the most part it feels believable.

This was a great book! I really enjoy Freida's writing and she always has a great twist. This book really got me out of my reading slump.

This was easy and fast to read, but at one point, I was frustrated - too much gaslighting, too many twists, and not even very good ones at that. Characters were also terrible. She’s written much better books than this.
