's review

did not like it
bookshelves: états-unis, suspense, gothique

If I can clock the twist in the first two (2) pages of a book, along with the entire layout of the plot-it is certainly not a book worth reading. I simply do not have the energy to describe how dreadfully disappointing this book was for me.

Thanks, as always, for your support, Yun🤎


Joanna Chu (The ChuseyReader) Oh dang! This one is so popular lately too... I totally feel you though, I'm reading Rock Paper Scissors and I'm not feeling mind blown from the twists :(. I'm going to stay away from hyped books for a while especially this one! Hope your next one is better!!

It's so so disappointing when a book which is currently so highly praised ends up being such a dud ): I wasn't even exaggerating when I say that I was able to clock the twist literally before the first chapter was over...a huge letdown.
I agree! I think steering clear of 'hyped' books for a while is a good call! I hope your next read turns out to be a great one too! :)


alittlelifeofmel I love this review! I thought the “twist” and “plot” were so obvious I didn’t realize they were not meant to be obvious until there was a big reveal. What people think is the twist I thought was the whole plot of the novel.

Thanks, Mel!
Such a frustrating experience to get to the end having spent the whole book aware of what was meant to be some shocking revelation...
I hope your next read is a great one! :)


Wendy Fowler YES! The "twist" was so obvious. I can't believe that so many people didn't see it coming a mile away. I felt exactly the same way I felt when watching "The Crying Game" a million years ago. I kept thinking, "well, the very obvious direction this is going in can't possibly be the twist, so I'll keep pushing through to see what is". So disappointing.

Glad you also agree, Wendy!! Utterly frustrating as this book was so highly anticipated. I'm not sure how more people didn't clue-in but, I suppose I'm glad they could blissfully enjoy the read haha
I hope your next book is a great one!! :)
