5 🌟’s. No notes. My new favorite thriller!
The only thing I have to say is that I LOVE Red as the protagonist of this book! This is the first time I ever read a book from the POV of a neurodivergent person and watching the way her brain deflects, processes, and tries to cope with all of the events over these 8 hrs was really interesting and in my opinion really well written!
Also I’m gonna need Ms. Jackson to come back and let me know whether or not she went (iykyk)! You can’t just leave me hanging like that! At least tell me what the pattern was! At the very least you have to tell me that cause it’s gonna drive me crazy not knowing!
