I'm so happy that this lived up to its hype. Around the 50% mark, I had accepted that this would be a run of the mill thriller and was over-hyped. I've never been so happy to be wrong. The plot twist had me grinning and the ending was so tense. I always thought it was an over-exaggeration to say you were "on the edge of your seat", but it really is true.
It went beyond my expectations, and I was so pleased when my predictions were wrong. The closer to the end, the better it got. So good! Would highly recommend this. <333
