I read this in one sitting and absolutely loved the first half, thought I‘d give it 5 stars
I definitely get the hype and would recommend this if you don’t mind the content warnings. the plot twists are great. not sure I‘ll read the sequels any time soon but I‘ll definitely check out other books by this author

okay with that, I'm going to explain my thoughts on this book. they are definitely complicated.
I'll start with the things I liked. the ending. it was actually great.
now to the things I didn't like as much. the first half of the book. I wanted to give up on this book so badly but I pulled through it because I was hoping it got better and it definitely did, especially on the third part.
my least favourite thing about it were the characters. I hated every single character even tho some of them got their redemption in the end. the only one I didn't completely hate was the Italian gardener, Enzo. but even him, I had some issues with.
so yeah, I have no idea if I'll ever read the second book.
(also, I got it from the library. support your local libraries!!!!)

In terms of plot: if you've read 'Girl on the train' and/or 'Last Mrs Parrish' you've read this one. The wrap up of the story also felt... too smooth. Nope nope nope.
