The Idea was good
But
Implementation wasn't
Maybe coz I have watched a series based on the same concept that's why maybe I didn't like it much
.
But the three stars is coz she thought of it and implemented it
.
And
She was writing like she was explaining it to naive people
Like to someone who is new to thriller or horror
It was slow
Couldn't grab out attention
.
Just finished it coz we were curious

The book was not that fast
I read it in a day but still thrill element was missing..
It's my first by Riley I am not that impressed if someone says some book is better than this one then i can try
.
For this book we kind of figure out what is happening ....and just when the end comes we realise we are 20% wrong
Other than the killer we can guess everything
We as in thriller lovers..
.
I am sure if I was new to thriller and hadn't read much of them then I would have loved it..
.
Someone said if you loved gone girl then you will like it
So in a sense some people will like it
And
In that sense i understand why it's like gone girl.
.
But as a thriller it's not that good
.
Otherwise a good book.
Not the best ofcourse

Was there a thrill ?
No
Was it fast paced ?
No
Was there a story
Yes
How did the story feel like ?
A diary entry
Was the suspense obvious?
Since the very first chapter
Was the end good enough?
It just ended
Do you agree with the Goodreads rating it has ?
No
Is it good for beginners in thrillers ?
If they have patience to reach the end
But was the idea behind books good ?
Yes was kinda new
Maybe if author spent more time on it
It would have been brilliant thriller
What was missing?
A great twist
It had good twist but didn't feel like it coz the story didn't make it surprising
It was obvious 😵💫
