wow. where do i begin? this book was so good!! i’ve heard so much about it through my years on booktok and other bookish social medias but wow i never thought i’d enjoy it as much as i did. this is probably one of my top mystery/thrillers of all time… it was genuinely that good. i partly predicted the plot twist (which is the ONLY reason it’s not a five star) but overall it was full of plot turns and “edge of your seat” moments that gets your adrenaline pumping. the whole “unreliable” narrator thing has always been one of my favs. 10/10 experience! highly recommend <3
