The Only One Left by Riley Sager

fast-paced

3.5

So here’s the thing. I was SO hooked. I was really enjoying this book, but the last few chapters, I just didn’t like. I felt like conclusions were jumped to too quickly and the pacing got really jumpy. I have mixed feeling about the reveals I’m still trying to parcel out. Additionally, I know this book was set in the 80s, but I only knew that objectively. It did not situate itself in that time period at all. It could have been 2024 and it wouldn’t have made a difference. So overall, I enjoyed the story, but the ending threw me off. 

I think the biggest culprit of my dislike was Kit joining Virginia. She was so adamant about hating her and then did a 180? I don’t know, it just didn’t sit right with me.
