There was a lot I liked about this book; it was definitely engaging. Ultimately, though, I just felt like it tried to do too much, too many threads.

(my own side note—as someone who has vitiligo [quite a bit of it] I repeatedly internally lol’ed/rolled my eyes at the leprosy-esque way it’s written about in this book!)

Havent read a thriller like this since gone girl. Too scared to read it home alone.

I rarely give out 1 star ratings, but I couldn’t connect with this in any way. The action with the home invasion started immediately and I never was able to connect with the characters. It’s just hard to care what happens to the characters if they don’t feel fleshed out or believable, and it didn’t help that the characters weren’t given names. I became more interested in the second half but then gaslighting was involved, which completely turned me off. Due to the gaslighting, the twist just left a bad taste in my mouth. I could kind of see what the author was trying to do but I don’t think it was executed well or in an impactful manner. Sadly this was not for me.
