Good read but the twist seemed pretty obvious at about half way through. She basically has a character tell you straight up! Very graphic. Still curious about the sequel!

This was a quick "beach read" about a professor of psychology who has an affair with a student. However, the student is a psychopath who doesn't want Dr. Tao to end the affair. Very fast-paced and a well written psychological thriller. I'm excited to read her follow up book, Freak.

Mehhhhh… I don’t love this. The ultimate twist is really good but everything on either side of it was pretty dull and dragged on. This felt soooo much longer than it actually was, none of the characters were likable even though I think they were supposed to be, and the sex addiction subplot felt very contrived and overdone.

Love Jennifer Hillier. Interesting plot. It’s just there was all this build up and then basically in 2 sentences it was over.
