this was on the read now section of netgalley and i was feeling the thriller vibe so i thought, why not? i probably would’ve been better off not indulging in my curiosity, i just didn’t absolutely love this.

i wasn’t really hooked at any point in the book, maybe because i fell out of my thriller mood or maybe because i didn’t care about the characters. the premise is really interesting and the plot itself was fun n well executed, it just didn’t get me super invested. the writing was alright, i suppose? idk i didn’t really pay attention to it icl 🧍🏼‍♀️

also the ending? so many conflicting feelings. on one hand, yes it makes sense. on the other, no i hate it.

so mainly just a quick thriller, if you’re looking for something like that or wanting to get out of a slump. nothing special, nothing memorable, but also not a bad read.

thank you to netgalley & royal house publishing for the arc! all opinions are my own.
