i think i went into this book expecting something else. i liked the plot with the baby and the chapters about Mia and her past and i wish there was more of that. instead the book focused on the kids hanging around and it was just slow and boring to me. it had very important themes but the way it was done and written wasnt my favourite, i just wanted more of that and less of kids dating and talking abt nothing.

this was dissapointing. the book description sounds interesting but the actual book is far from it. it has many random and sad stories that go nowhere, they have no purpose other than be sad and you forget abt them the second they end. the main story is just boring. i will say the writting is very pretty and it was the only thing i liked. the book does talk abt tragic and important things but they are so short that I felt nothing at the end and i wish the book was longer, so we can get to know those characters and really care for them. fast read but also very forgetable

3.75

the last 40 pages made me anxious

3.5?
i have no clue how to rate this one. the first 60% of the book were boring but i pushed thru bc of the reviews and the promise of amazing plot twists. well I did get the plot twists but i predicted most of them, so it didnt really pay off for the boring first half. i did enjoy the book but I also feel nothing after finishing, I think i just hyped the book too much for myself for months and i was just underwhelmed???? but also its a debut so i dont wanna be harsh, it was still solid

4.5

THIS WAS SO GOOD!!! finally a good and fun thriller. i dont give books like this 5 stars, but it deserves at least the 4.5 for not dissapointing me

2.75

i looooved the first 60% of the book and the atmosphere it had but sadly when the plot twist started to unravel i lost my interest. its not my favourite kind of a plot twist and i found it just a bit ridiciulous and it ruined the fun for me. also its my second riley sager book where i loved the set up and didnt love the plot twist/ending so yeah, dont know if im going to be reading more from him.

i really enjoyed this book, the themes it has and all the characters!!! it was well written, funny and cute. it got a bit too cheesy for my liking by the end and i dont really feel Carter that much, hence the 4 stars but everything else was great :) also im in love with Olivia and i wish i had a friend like her, shes def my fav character

oh also the whole plot with her grandma made me tear up and i could understand how she felt with everything, so it was a bit hard to read at times, but i appreciate it alot.

1.75

finally done. the first 100pgs or so where nice but then it just got boring, to the point of me having to listen to the audiobook on 2.3x speed to get thru this crap. book itself isnt terrible, theres just not much happening for a book dats over 500pgs. also the plot twist is yikes but i already had that spoiled years ago

3.5

this one had me rolling my eyes so many times but it was still solid. jake and hadley are my fav characters for sure, didnt really care for logan and lana tbh. the ending was cheesy but also i did expect it so its fine

3.75

i get it now...that last chapter, my GOD

the first half was great but the second one was such a slug and i just skim read most of it. i hate Logans pov bc of how boring it is and the whole fbi investigation. they just repeat the same shit in every book. not a fan of this one and scared it will only get worse 😫

the first half was a bit boring but the second half bumped it to 3 stars + THE ENDING!!!! i knew it

i thought im going to hate this but turns out i had fun and couldnt put it down. its not a good book by any means and the 3 stars dont compete with my other 3 star reads but i dont really care. also the rating would prob be lower if i cared for the writting but i dont and english isnt my first language so i dont really notice those stuff. ALSO Logan is a terrible fbi agent, im sorry but how did he not connect the dots whenever Lana was telling him stuff abt herself and all the killing jokes she made ????? dat was the biggest thing that bothered me in this book and i really had to ignore it to not ruin the fun lol

i went into this book with zero expectations and i was sure to hate it. was it amazing? no. did i predict everything? yes. did i still have fun and was scared reading this? yes. to me its just a fun read that i couldnt put down but by no means is it a great book ESPECIALLY in the thriller genre.

i still love this book. sure it wasnt as scary and suprising as the first time but dats obvious coz i knew what will happen. also forgot how good the last 30 pages are

I totally understand why people dont like this book but personally I connected with it on so many levels and sadly it was very relatable sometimes. already want to reread it

the mystery overall deserves 3 stars but i bumped it to 4 for the wlw couple coz i loved it and also the commentary on rape culture and men abusing their power

amazing and very important, really wish I read it when i was 13; the family dynamics in this one are so beautiful and made me teary eyed the whole time

very quick read, nothing shocking or amazing but i enjoyed it + i appreciate the commentary about women struggling with depression and marriage which was rare back in the day

i don't understand how a book with such a interesting and disturbing concept could turn out to be so boring?

3.5

i did predict what the story is about like 2 chapters in but i really enjoyed the way its written and just the story itself. last chapter kinda took some points coz it was too long and just said what i already knew.

i enjoyed the book so much until the plot twist reveal being something i predicted and thought is very obvious from the start ??? the whole book i was waiting for something i already know and it made me annoyed but cant give it less stars coz i did enjoy the book up until then i guess.

+ also i did not like the use of racism and ableism as a plot twist, that was a weird and unnecessary choice so im lowering it to 2 stars upon thinking more abt this

3.5

this book was fine. i enjoyed the first half way more bc of the atmosphere of it. even tho i didnt predict any plot twist, it still wasnt that shocking to me or amazing but at least enjoyable

sadly my first read of the year was not good. the whole book was boring to me and i didint care about anyone or anything. will i still read the whole series? yes coz i desperatly want to start six of crows

this book was very sad and made me tear up in some parts. i really enjoyed reading it, it wasnt at all what i expected but thats okay
