Didn’t expect some of the things that happen. 

I did not think the boyfriend was behind it. I honestly thought it was going to be Josh and that he was Maddy’s brother. Throwing the lady at the dinner was a little wild. However, still a enjoyable book.

I liked the book, the writing and the end
Also loved that it had two „twists“
The first one (the Campus Killer being Robbie) at some point I could see coming tbh, the second one (it being a literal movie) not so much

I think it’s so cute Jake is her husband now I kinda love them together.

All in all good novel but the twists could have been a bit more shocking.

I found the plot somehow both outrageous and somewhat predictable, but it was a tense and enjoyable read

This is by no means the best book I’ve ever read, but boy, was I entertained! I read it in a single day because I simply couldn’t put it down. A quick and fun (though dark) read which will keep you on your toes, even if the book has some flaws.

I like the setting and concept of the plot. A ride with a total stranger, two people confined in a car, things start to feel weird. I feel that this could have been so much better though… I liked some of the twists but definitely not all of them, some felt a bit contrived. And I *really* didn’t like some parts of the ending. And Charlie and the way her mind works didn’t do it for me either. 
Might give another Riley Sager a try though, because the initial concept was good.
