3.0

Fun quick read and finished it in a couple days. I felt the plot was very predictable and I didn’t like the way the author relied on stereotypes for the characters (especially Lucy who is presented in a very stereotypical manner of “awkward girl with autism” instead of getting better character development). I also felt the escape room wasn’t well developed. They could have simply been trapped in an elevator going to a meeting and it wouldn’t have made a difference to the plot. Overall it was a fun thriller read but nothing incredible
