Narrator/protagonist has the craziest case of Dumb Bitch Disease that I have read in a while. Lots of predictable twists but the last one got me. 3 stars but extra 0.5 star for the fact that I was so invested that I basically finished the book in one sitting.

It's ok.

The story suffers from some really silly choices by the protagonist and side characters, making it hard to put yourself in it. The twist at the end was visible a mile away and the explanation of it all seemed shoehorned in and a bit ridiculous. I was not a fan of McFadden's choice of writing this 30-something uear old registered nurse as havung the internal monologue style of a teen girl.

Despite all that, I can see how people could enjoy this. It includes the textbook thriller story beats that make a book "unputdownable" (the term McFadden's publicist tries to promote), but there are books with more heart on the market with which to spend your time.
