I preferred the short stories to the main Lovesickness, but it was still another great read.
A twin swap featuring two cute caring hunks? What more could you ask for. Such a comfort read, it feels like you're watching a Christmas movie.
Great read that completely submerges you into the story! You feel like you're a character on the journey with everyone in the story. Didn't expect there to be any plot twists, let alone these great ones. Author did an excellent job at maintaining the theme without making it feel repetitive.
Great read! The formatting is wonderful if you love different POVs and different time period shifts. Multiple twists that were unexpected; once you thought the story was done there was a final one that rounded out the novel perfectly.
The most disappointing book of 2021. Fell very flat in every aspect and never took off or made sense.
Such an amazing read! Goes deep into the Instagram family world and shows how truly vile it is and can be. Some parts even have you rooting for the antagonist — mainly because the instamom was so terrible.
I'm not squeamish at all but a couple times I felt myself wincing.
Just wish the ending wouldn't have been so quickly paced and wouldn't have had such a jump into the future.
The last chapter felt like a daunting warning to all the families that post their loved ones online for followers.
One of my favorite reads of the year! So many twists and so much unexpected romance! Even though this was marketed as a thriller, it is equally a beautiful romance novel.
Absolutely loved seeing adults on the spectrum being written as fully-developed characters.
Fast-paced and the second part was completely unexpected. The characters endings didn't seem right and/or justified and really soured the experience. Some really morally complex characters that make you unsure how to feel — I'm more a fan of black/white but can't deny the excellent writing.
Bit of an overhyped book. Appreciated the nods to Jane Eyre (even though I never liked the novel), but the story's shock factor was just lacking. None of the characters were likable in a way that made their ability to manipulate people using charm very unbelievable.
Was way less of a thriller than I expected and was hard to get into at first. Not really a “what's wrong with the child” story more of a look through generations of struggling mothers. However, the emotions stirred were really intense. The ending saved all the hard feelings and anger at the characters for me. Gave me a “we need to talk about Kevin” vibe. Also if I could jump in the book and beat up the husband I absolutely would (more rosemary's husband than rosemary's baby)
Definitely thought this was going to be an overhyped read, but it completely deserved the hype. Loved the formatting between letters, professional accounts, and someone outside of the camp. I like that it didn't need to use any dramatic twists to be extremely shocking.
Haven't read many mysteries before but this has made me way more interested in the genre. SO MANY PLOT TWISTS!!
MUST READ!!! Unbelievably amazing with all the twists in the world! Haven't hated a character like that in a long time. Couldn't put it down once I got midway
Loved this! Such a great setting that really heightened the tension — one of the best isolation thrillers. There were just so many great components to this story and the use of multiple POVs was excellently used. The climax was just so well done and exciting, probably one of my favorites!
Despite the plot twist about the guy's identity being spoiled for me, it was a really creepy and disturbing concept. There also was another twist that I wasn't fully expecting though.
The CREEPINESS of the main guy was so terrifying and really gets under your skin cause you know it's not fiction at all there are so many people in the world like that just lurking in the dark. The story highlights the dangers that follow social media, especially when it comes to having a public presence.
At moments it was hard to feel bad for the main character because she was such a narcissist. It gave me the same internal conflict as “People Like Her” where the main character isn't a great person and you wish they weren't famous, but you also want them to realize there's dangerous people out there and not get harmed. It gave me the heebie jeebies imaging the terrible stuff that could potentially happen to real life instagrammers and anyone that puts there presence out there.
Riveting idea that I thought I'd be able to stomach. Kept hoping for a glimmer of hope or joy and it never appeared. Hoped to read a commentative dystopian novel, but it was just excessive torture porn. In the end it was one dimensional brutality.
Some unexpected heroes and villains, but a mostly predictable plot. Still a great read tho with constant movement.
Really unexpected twists, especially the ending. Makes you question every character. Doesn't really get interesting til after the 100th page unfortunately.
Still screaming from that shock ending! This one is gonna stick with me for a while, it was so amazing. Love how the author tied in his previous book — completely unexpected.
