the plot was that everyone was cheating on everyone, basically
it’s absolutely not a thriller. there wasn’t even a proper storyline
the blurb promises “[until] a body is discovered, facedown, off the side of the boardwalk” but said body dies on page 211 (out of 257). the death itself was pretty underwhelming and all it did was start the end of the book.
i liked the reveal that robert killed her in the epilogue but by that point i was so done with the book i couldn’t care less. give me the plot twist earlier!
the. children. just send them away to a camp???? or don’t even talk about them, none of them added anything
if you took a shot every time a new character was introduced/named, you would die of alcohol poisoning. like this woman was full on recycling names… jen, jenny, jeanette, jane, janet, there were even two steves???

sigh

i loved the fast pace and all the characters!

everything was so good up until the reveal itself (the way it was done)

i think i would’ve much rathered have ben and lucy figure it out through clues honestly. lucy regaining all her memories just made the whole podcast interrogation thing seem pointless? like some of the people interviewed were irrelevant and offered irrelevant information since, again, the reveal was caused by lucy simply remembering everything

i haven’t felt this stressed out over a book since i read five survive by holly jackson so it was a great thriller!

there wasn’t so much of a mystery like i thought there’d be? so that was a bit of a letdown but maybe that’s my own fault for misreading the description or something. the reality tv aspect also felt kind of minor bc the description made it seem more important?

i hate to say this but my guesses at the plot twist were way more interesting than what actually happens. when everything was revealed it was just like “oh. okay” and then the book ended

that was insane

i love enzo. he’s an icon.

i don’t really understand how andy never figured out ninas plan tho? like his whole thing was that he somehow “knew everything” but he couldn’t figure out what nina was doing? why she out of the blue started acting so abnormal? and then when he said he wanted a divorce, she acted as if she was actually sad over it, when he caught her trying to get away multiple times! i don’t get it

i love a good con artist story! the beginning was kind of imposters meets inventing anna

it started off really good, especially the whole cory storyline, but the moment we found out the aftermath of the phonecall that made kat chase after meg for the past ten years it started falling off for me a bit

like meg isn’t the one that raped you??? go after nate, the one who ACTUALLY DID. god that bothered me so much

another thing is that i don’t understand how they became such good friends??? like to kat, this is the woman that set her up to get targeted by nate. and for meg, this is a reporter that wants to expose her??? but yet they become besties and meg tells kat, OF ALL PEOPLE, everything she’s been doing from the start. also i felt like the ending was kind of cheap idk i didn’t like how kat is about to turn into meg.

anyways! nate cory and ron deserve death i’m so serious🫶
