The One That Got Away is a gripping psychological thriller about Molly, whose brief past romance with the charming but unsettling Alex resurfaces in terrifying ways. As her world unravels, she questions whether she’s imagining the danger or if Alex is truly a threat. The book builds tension well but includes many triggering themes and has uneven pacing. While the suspense keeps you hooked, some parts feel rushed or underdeveloped. A dark, unsettling read that thriller fans may enjoy—but one to approach with caution.
Now this was intriguing and kept me wanting to listen to more.
