This book is a 3.75 I could not put it down. It was fun trying to figure it all out. I was able to guess at many of the twists. The book had way too much talk about old movies. I love old movies but it went on and on about them. The writing style was a bit campy at times. This book is like Harry Potter in that the author pulls from lots of other stories, fables and plot lines. He was able to rearrange these many stories into one of his own that is a hit. I do recommend it.

It has been a very long time since a book caused me to have my jaw on the floor in disbelief. Loved this psychological thriller and the many twists and turns it takes the readers through. Anna can sometimes appear as an unreliable narrator causing the reader to doubt the storyline and characters within. The author does an amazing job at drawing the readers in and keeping them hooked until the very last page.

The first few pages were intriguing, then it slowed down—but somehow still kept me wondering. And then, suddenly, it was what is going on?!—in the best way possible. Not everything seen through the window is as it seems… A chilling mystery full of suspense, paranoia, and shocking twists. 🤯

Well, this was definitely a wildly entertaining ride...up until the end. If you are an M. Night Shyamalan fan, you know exactly what I'm talking about. There's a concept and a plot that grabs you and keeps you moving forward, only to give you an ending that is terribly disappointing.

Definitely kept my interest. A real page turner - I read it in one day (unusual for me). I guessed the ending before the climax but it was still a good read.
