Woah! What a rollercoaster of a book!

It was creepy. It was intense. It was sad. It was good!

This was my first time reading one of Lisa’s books and honestly I have to read more! 

This gave me the chills reading it! 

The fact there’s people out in the world who are like that just gives me the heebee Jeebees

When it comes to ambiguous open endings, I usually don't mind because I can imagine what I want to follow as an epilogue.  That requires having a good foundation though and this book lacked that in spades.  When the title is the book, you question everything.

This had my jaw on the floor many times. Somebody order a wellness check for Lisa Jewel because her mind is just 🤯

It was really good, but I wouldn’t recommend it, at least not without a full list of trigger warnings😅

The audiobook though 👏🏻so good👏🏻 one of the best audiobooks I’ve ever listened to! The voice actors gave it there all and really sold me the story, so much so that it felt real
