Shari Lapena is my fav author, but I’m gonna need to watch SpongeBob to get to sleep for a while after that one. 

 love the way that she writes. Lots of info frequently, lots of twists and very suspenseful. I didn’t look at the content warning for this book and almost wish I had.. the ending was great and I actually correctly guessed the murderer this time (first time in one of her books lol) but man was it dark. If you’re someone who is bothered by sexual harassment etc, maybe think twice about this one. Glad I read it, and it was VERY well done with a cool little snippet after the book about the authors life that pertains to the story but this story has multiple dark themes and is actually pretty gruesome IMO.

I usually don't mind a predictable ending as long as the story is decent but it was a little ridiculous that I guessed both the killer and the motive within the first couple of chapters. There were so many POVs that it was hard to track, and the writing lacked any depth whatsoever. Every sentence was "(person) thought about who killed Diana. (person) felt terrible about what happened to Diana. How could something like this happen to such a great person?" Just nonstop telling telling telling. The story was compelling enough but it was a very mid book.
