This book was wildly predictable right from the beginning and I knew exactly how it was going to end by about 25 pages in. That didn't stop it from being an incredibly fun read of the type that's absolutely perfect when you just want some "thriller trash" escapism. There was definitely nothing cerebral or even a little bit surprising about any of this, but I really enjoyed it anyway and appreciated it for the fun ride it was.

Very after school special. Everything tied up too neatly and an unnecessary little cliffy that just felt dumb

This was fine. It felt like the twist kind of confused things. Not my fav.
