The plot is amazing but the story was draggy baggy. Why would he fall into depression
if he plotted Abb's death. He chooses to do a bad thing and frets over it for a whole year. Okay fine, acceptable, but Abby if so concerned that her husband was not into her, she should have been open about her thoughts and if her husband was insecure of his career, she should have asked him to get a therapy and both could have gone to couples therapy instead they both kept their thoughts and decided to paint colours over their decaying marriage which obviously blew up.


The chapters when truth was revealed were just like not written neatly. Couldn't grasp well. maybe I was half asleep dunno


But kitty jumping in was unpredictable.

The author made Abby be some slimy character, and at the end just with a flip of few pages, made grady bad man???


Seriously, poor fellow went into depression after killing her. People who love that desperately with fear of losing loved ones don't kill, even if they do, they choose to follow them


Just because the plot is good the author fails to insert basic logic here which is disappointing 


The plot was cool, more like midsommar vibes.

It felt like author was forced to tarnish Grady's character somehow.

But killing Grady was just wasn't necessary and totally disappointing 😞 

Thank God, the dog was saved.. jeez it gave me jitters
