Christ but I really need to stop relying on TikTok for my book recommendations.

For a thriller, this book lacked any real suspense or mystery, with the "twist" coming about 70 pages in. It reads more like a young adult novel if I'm honest and the dialogue is so fanciful and stilted. I don't like to shit all over a book that so many people clearly love but I really don't get the hype over this one. All things considered, the one star is for how much of a bro Esther is.
