First off, I want to say that I get the huge hype of this book. It was addictive, it has short, punchy chapters, and I can’t wait to read what happens next vibes. The start of the book was the best part for me, unlike many others who found it slow. The family drama and dynamics really drew me in, I loved it. – 4 Stars
Then the book lost me a bit about when the mom expects the 16-year-old daughter to find a new wife for the dad and look out for him. I found it rather controlling and laughable that she thinks the 16-year-old would do better than the grown man himself. It was still readable to me, though, like a popcorn thriller. – 3 Stars
The last part of the book went completely off the rails for me. I didn’t buy into anything that happened, it was completely implausible. I was literally laughing out loud at the stupidity of it. The book was trying to be serious, these are supposed to be important people, doctors, lawyers, mayors and police. Don’t come at me. I know there are many unscrupulous types in these positions, but is ANYONE in this town not a murdering psychopath? – 1 Star
That gives the book eight stars out of fifteen, which is a rating of 2.66 out of five, rounded up to three.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the Advance Readers Copy.
