A Twisted Love Story

i originally gave this 3 stars but after discussing it on the literally dead book club & the troop liveshows i realized how literally nothing in this book connected. also this tried to make this toxic, crazy romance and they barely did anything crazy. like baby this is nothing 😭 i will say it kept me engaged and interested the entire time tho 

I should have trusted the low reviews. This was so surprising because I have LOVED all of Samantha Downing's books. This was nothing like the others, I kept thinking it was written by a ghostwriter. All of the characters were unlikeable. The characters made dumb decisions, and the “romance” plot was awful. I didn't like how the perspective would just randomly change in the middle of the chapter, and there were so many minor characters with pointless side plots. Hated the detective perspective, and it went nowhere. the whole obsession Karen had about finding out what happened to a car years ago was so stupid. It made no sense. At the end of the book all of these random side characters and thinly laid plots came out, and I had no idea what was going on and didn't care. I'm just so disappointed at this flop.
