Another book about terrible people. I felt stressed the entire time. The plot is honestly very predictable. I accurately pinned down all of the major twists and tropes except for the very final twist. It was entertaining. It just wasn’t anything special.

Rating: 2.75⭐️
Would I recommend? No

Audio Review: Well-acted, but the male narrator’s voice wasn’t my favorite.

This was a nice, quick thriller that kept me engaged from start to finish. The onset and initial climax were exciting, but the ending left me unsatisfied, feeling inconsistent with what we knew about the characters. While the story revolves around the idea that you never truly know anyone, it felt like some choices, especially regarding Christian and Lily, didn’t quite align with their development. The characters overall lacked depth, even the narrators, which made it hard to connect fully with the story. Nina stood out as the one truly blameless characterβ€”my poor sweet angel! On the flip side, the creepy coworker’s attempts to "help" Nina only added discomfort rather than intrigue. Despite these gripes, the book’s fast pace and suspenseful twists made it an enjoyable read while it lasted. Perfect for fans of quick, engaging thrillers who don’t mind characters taking a backseat to plot.

Characters were pretty simple and not very smart… plot was slow moving, and no twists until the end. I predicted most of it during the first 10% of the story, which was the most interesting part of the book.

I went from being at a solid 3 star rating up until over 80% through the audiobook when for a moment I truly believed I would be leaving a 1 star review. I ended up with such relief that a particularly unwanted outcome did not happen, that my rating shot back up. I also was excited that I was right about the main culprit, yet while I understand how many people say the twists were predictable, I questioned myself just enough to worry it was going to go in a direction I did not want as there were obvious red herons where some made 0 sense but others had relevance.
