Didn’t love it but was definitely entertaining and kept me hooked. Very plot heavy with twists (some I liked, others were so farfetched & were just for shock value).
I can see why people enjoy this — it was a decent read for an escapist thrilled but the writing was bleh & I didn’t connect to characters. I think good thrillers have both suspenseful plot & characters to connect with, and this was just plot
