Little too creepy for me personally

I also feel like the title is a kind of spoiler. Like from the first time we start hearing Josie’s story, we expect everything she says to be a lie. Not sure if that was what the author was intending but I think the payoff of the twists would have been higher if I hadn’t had that expectation going in

This was a really interesting read. Took me a while to get into it, but once I understood what the book was about I couldn’t help but find it fascinating.

Such a unique way of telling a story - different viewpoints, netflix docu-series, unreliable versions of the story - loved it!
