I never seen the twist of this!!! It took me to places that I could relate with on many levels and one day hope no one will ever have to relate to again. The beauty of the insight into all of the characters were well developed.
This one took a little while to get into, and it was certainly out of my comfort zone as far as what I normally read. It was interesting to read from the perspective of a killer, and about halfway through the pace really picked up. This book is a concept reminiscent of the movie Promising Young Woman, but ultimately I felt like it was a little too clichĂ© in parts. I picked up on the biggest twists a little before they were revealed, but it was a fun read (as fun as serial killers go I suppose), and a good one for October! IĂąÂÂm glad I read it just for the sake of a very different story than I usually gravitate toward. Thanks Booktok for the rec!
