Boy was this a fun rollercoaster. I kept going back and forth with the is Josh a killer or is Charlie just a week crazy? One moment Ali was set on my answer and by the end of the chapter I was doubting myself. I liked the characters but I also was also groaning over some of Charlie's decision that just did make sense after her long thought out reasons and to do the opposite. There were a bunch of moments I did not see coming and i enjoyed that so much. I predicted something only because it seemed convenient and there wasnt a lot of pages left but oh boy did i call it and was not disappointed in this book at all! I really liked this and the all over mind mess of it!

Okay, so I didn't love it, but I didn't hate it either.

It starts off interesting but quickly turns annoying with a little too much "it's real/it isn't real" which took away from being able to fully submerge into this world. However, by the end there was some redemption with clever twists and an HEA I was secretly hoping for.

I had read Final Girls back in 2018 and given it a 3 star rating as well so perhaps this author just isn't for me.

Thanks to NetGalley and Penguin Group Dutton for providing a post-publication digital copy in exchange for an honest review.
