Behind Closed Doors

I excitedly picked this up at my local used book shop as it's been hyped up recently on TikTok's book community as a thriller they couldn't put down. I think I must be jaded from reading too many thrillers because I don't get the hype.

Plot holes abound, the characters are almost totally unbelievable, and the writing style is, frankly, childish. The dialogue ... I'm at a loss for words. I'm truly stunned at the amount of hype this book has gotten lately. Here's the thing, if you don't read many thrillers, maybe this will be your cup of tea. If you don't care whether it's realistic or not, sure. But don't go in thinking this is the new Gone Girl. I assure you, it's not. However, it IS a quick read. I finished it in a weekend of very casual reading. Fast paced, keeps you entertained, kind of like a Lifetime movie in novel form. Yeah, that about sums it up.
