The Only One Left by Riley Sager

slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.0

So I'm not gonna lie, I skimmed after like 86% and straight up skipped the very end. I couldn't take any more random twists and twice as many words as their needed to be. It was okay, just soooo much rehashing of the same thoughts over and over again, which trust me, I get, but it was frustrating to read. It was like it was walking the reader through every step of the way like we're stupid. Twists were unexpected, but still unsatisfactory and underwhelming and some made no sense. I'll read more by the author, but I expected this to be great, so it was a let down.
