What a trip! The Only One Left was my first Riley Sager book and now I get the hype - there was so much going on with all the characters, the jumps through time, the twists and turns but I still found it to be a quick and enjoyable read.
Not really horror, not really thriller, this book felt almost like a locked room mystery or the narrative of an escape room. I'm definitely going to be picking up some more books by this author.
