Are y’all okay?? Is this really the thriller that’s taken the book world by storm?

Incredibly mediocre & super easy to guess! And sure, there’s a sort of twist towards the end, but not nearly enough of one to justify this. It was basically a book about annoying characters that you’re screaming at all throughout, just for the thing you thought might happen, does!

Genuinely shocked at all of the rave reviews (& annoyed at myself for reading this whole thing). Wow.
