this one was such a ride!! I binged it in the span of one night, and I still am confused about the wild ride I went on š§ it gave all of the luckiest girl alive vibes with an added twist at the end
charlie has all but forgotten about the worst night of her life, when she survived the āscarlet christmasā aka a massacre at her university in new york. but now, a classmate is drudging up the entire event all over again when she decides to make a movie about the event. and I ā¦ really didnāt care about any of it?
I just felt super disjointed from the story going back and forth between charlieās current life and her recalling her past with her therapist. it didnāt feel like a normal dual timeline and instead forced the reader into the memories versus allowing it to happen organically.
and charlie herself was a world class narcissist š¤Ŗ she truly pushed away everyone who truly loved and cared about her without a momentās thought, while simultaneously convincing herself that sheās the key to solving the mystery. if she just took five seconds and talked to others, she would have found out the truth instead of speculating events š
