I decided to read this one because I recently read The Paris Apartment by Lucy Foley and I saw some reviews comparing her book to this one. I really enjoyed The Paris Apartment and wanted more stories with similar vibes so I gave this one a chance and oh my god did I love this one. I got hooked so quickly.
While I did figure out who was at fault and who couldn't be trusted pretty quickly the reason behind their actions shocked me and was something I didn't see coming. This was honestly such a great read and I had such a good time listening to it. This was my first Riley Sager book and I'll definitely be reading more by him in the future.
The only reason I'm not giving this four stars is a thought a lot of Jules' actions where very dumb and I found myself sometimes getting very annoyed at her.
