I’m honestly still unsure about my thoughts and feelings for this book. It certainly reads really fast - the suspense pushes you to devour the story for sure. 

I enjoy reading darker stories as I find morally ambiguous characters compelling. This is one of the cases where all the characters are unlikeable; some worse than others. Surprisingly, that wasn’t the reason for the rating. Initially, I was going for 4 stars. However, I felt like there were some variables of the story which didn’t make sense in terms of plausibility. This was written like a thriller so the resolution should’ve made sense, right? The ending wasn’t the issue - it’s how we got there. I doubt certain things could happen without ANYONE noticing.? Especially, the medical staff. 

In terms of “teams”, I’m team manuscript. I think the behavior we caught a glimpse of outside the pages was eerily similar to the written persona. I think the letter is one last shot at maintaining control.

I think she wanted Lowe to find it and not Jeremy. One last game of securing her obsession

. Some of the manuscript pages made me sick and I honestly wish I could forget about them. 

I don’t know if I’m keeping the rating as is but until I clear my thoughts fully, this makes sense to me.
