I finally found a thriller that I loved! This is the first thriller where I am intrigued but not anxious by the plot or scenarios. It is also the first time I have enjoyed the plots and not found them cringey or lazy writing.
Although there are some really dark topics in it like DV, suicide, mental illness and emotional abuse to name a few. I still enjoyed it and normally those aspects would be quite triggering for me.
I actually really enjoyed the characters even though I hated some of them they were still enjoyable.
I also found it quite confusing at times but I felt like that was the aim and that it really added to the story.
