Rating as a movie: R for violence, adult themes and content
My rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐¼
My thoughts: 3% - This sounds a lot like The Escape Room by Megan Goldin. 🤔
9% - Oh Sugar!
23% - This story is frustrating and captivating. She keeps switching storylines, each one is interesting but she cuts them near the climax. I know they are all connected but it is annoying. I don't want to stop reading but too many dead end chapters gets on my nerves.
65% - This girl is getting on my nerves. 🙄
I was promised The Firm meets The Silent Patient, it was a legal puzzle like The Firm but not slow enough for The Silent Patient, and I couldn't figure out what it had in common with that book. Anywho the story was good overall. The tempo was perfect, the only issues I had was it was choppy in the beginning but I was never bored. After 65% it was good til the end.
Recommend to others?: Yes. This one is a keeper. I wasn't blown away by anything but it was a good ride.
