i usually read my book club books the weekend before the meetup, and then realized that i absolutely had no time to do that so thought "i'll read it before bed" and then blitzed through it in two days. crazy
very fast paced and quick read!! engaging the whole time and i loved the descriptions of the house. tricia keeps saying "ohh this house is creepy i don't want to buy it" and the more she described it the more I wanted her to buy it
spoiler time:
the "twist" made me literally say "what the helllll" outloud like.... what the hell LMAO
the whole time i was like, ok, ethan being EJ seems way way way way too easy so i'm going to assume they're different people, and i did get that the body under the floor was not adrienne immediately because I remembered the jeans comment, but i kept thinking "if ethan isn't EJ and the body clearly isn't adrienne then it feels like their has to be a fourth person involved in this murder situation aside from adrienne EJ and luke??" and, well,
don't really feel like the twist would hold up on a re-read tbh, but honestly thought it was insane but in a fun way. but honestly i kind of respect her for going full balls to the wall on this one because it was so fun. solid 2.5 book in quality but i had sooo much fun at the end !! what the hell!!!
genuinely hyped for my book club for once i want to hear their thoughts sooo bad
