BRUH I SPOILT IT FOR MYSELF. And because of that i cannot proceed to read it. The plot twist is fantastic, but i just can’t carry on knowing what happened. I might try rereading it again (because i DNF’d it) but I don’t think thrillers are for me, i prefer thrillers with a subplot of romance HEHEHE

A slow burn but an unexpected ending that keeps the reader gripped!
Main character are well formed and interest in.

I really enjoyed this novel, I thought it had lots of subtle features you really had to look for, which I personally like, however I wasn’t really a fan of the multiple timelines as I found it very confusing tbh. Overall I was a fan though! 4/5

I really liked this book, it draws you in and keeps your attention. All the way through i didnt see where it was going until the last chapter! I was disappointed when I reached the end, because I really enjoyed it!

I don’t normally write reviews but on this occasion I feel so annoyed at being conned out of my fiver by the book industry moguls that I simply had to have my say.
I succumbed to the hype and purchased this book only to end up being painfully (almost literally) disappointed. Like many of the other poor reviews I read on Amazon (and mercifully there are enough of them to support my opinion), this book is an example of how anything can make millions of it’s marketed well enough. But it’s so unfair to some of the talented writers out there struggling to get a look in. Plot? Ridiculous. Knowledge of psychotherapy? Verging on dangerous and for the most part unethically represented. Writing style? Cringe worthy , stilted and overly explanatory … what happened to the ‘show not tell’ mantra of good creative writing? Character development? Embarrassingly one dimensional and frankly boring. Twists? Seriously … it’s a joke! And as for the typos, the confusing misuse of tenses and basic grammar – horrifying! And the guy supposedly has a degree in English Literature from Cambridge!
I predict that this, when played out on the silver screen, headlined no doubt by another big celebrity like Thurman or Lawerence, will flop in the same way Mr Michaelidis’ other two screenplays did. It’s inevitable. The guy may have a bucket load if high profile connections but he’s an average/poor writer at best. But I suppose what does he care? He’s making a fortune. That makes him a good business man .. . at least.

Really enjoyed this book. Kept me guessing right up to the end. Haven’t read this sort of book for a while

What a book! Gripped me and pulled me in so hard I ended up reading it in under 12 hours. Would recommend to anyone. A must read.
by Katie C
What a book highly recommend! I listened to this as an audiobook & I was hooked from the first few chapters. Writing was great, the way the narrators told the story I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. Highly recommend the audio version first time listening to one and I was hooked throughout.
Very interesting psychological thriller!
I did try reading this book a few years ago but couldn’t get into it at the time (not sure why) as it is 100% worth it!
