Definitely a page turner

I couldn’t stop reading once I started but I find myself disappointed with the ending. I wanted a more satisfying completion.

liked it a lot more than i expected to. the beginning was too exposition-heavy for me and the ending was more confusing than intriguing but i liked the stuff michaelides is doing with the parallels between alicia and theo. just wish there had been more clues leading up to the reveal
