Had a hard time putting this one down!

Absolutely adored the format of this book. It was the perfect mix of a behind the scenes/E! True Hollywood special, meets Netflix crime doc mini series. It had the story broken up into “episodes” with insight to the reception from the press and internet which added a submersive touch.

This is one of those books that’s more about the fun of the journey than the destination. Which is interesting as it’s a whodunit.
It constantly poses the question of “how well do we know a person?” as twist and turns change the expected trajectory of the story.

Overall, it was quick and enjoyable read with some good twists but an uninspired ending.

Also, I read this in conjunction with the audiobook which I also recommended as it’s a full cast.
