Great read, hooked from the start. Twisty and completely addictive. Was on the edge of my seat! 4.5 stars cause I was a little annoyed at the ending but that makes it a great book! Absolutely loved the acknowledgments at the end too!

4.0

Listened to the audiobook and it was so well produced!! I enjoyed the book overall, it did drag on a bit here and there.

I don’t feel like that last chapter was a twist. To me, it shows how much of an unreliable narrator Josie is, how deeply her narcissism seeps in. To the point she believes the lies she made up in her head is the truth.
