AAAAAHHHHHHH!!
My first 5 stars of the year that isn’t a re-read. The booktubers who recommended it were right! 
This book had me on a chokehold the entire time! It was gripping, page-flipping, and interesting! 
This is how a good thriller is written! This is how complex characters are written! this is how a good ending is written!  
When I had a moment of free time, I just wanted to be reading it. I even kinda cheating in my buddy-read by finishing it before my reading buddy Salam 🤭🫣
I knew it was gonna be a 5-star while I was reading it, but the ending solidified that. What a journey! 
I would love to listen to it on audio, because people had been saying it reads like a podcast via audio. So maybe in a re-read someday.
I also want to check out this author’s other books. “The Family Upstairs” was on my radar, and now it’s up there on my TBR.
