In My Dreams I Hold a Knife

4.5 star“Wanting is dangerous. The less you want, the safer you'll be.”One of my fav thrillers for this year!! A great book with amazing character development. Most of the books I have read which are character-driven don't take the time to properly describe each character but in this, everyone was perfectly portrayed, we got to see their strengths, weaknesses, flaws, etc...What I loved about the book;-The setting(who doesn't love a good dark academia setting?) -Flashbacks.-Even though the MC was Jessica we got chapters from the other characters' pov as well, so it was very interesting to read.-This has happened only once before with a thriller([b:The Au Pair 51200711 The Au Pair Emma Rous https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1565535897l/51200711.SX50_SY75.jpg 59174124]) but the scenes toward the end nearly had me in tears.-And last but not least the love triangle, it's been a while since I've read a good love triangle and I was a huuugee fan of the love triangle in this book, maybe even more than the plot lolWhat I didn't like;Not much really, I didn't like Jessica at first but in the end, the reasons as to why she was acting like that were explained and that made me feel sorry for her.“I studied myself the way I'd done my whole life, searching for what others saw whenthey looked at me.”Overall this was a really good book and I think you will love it if you are a fan of dark academia, alternating timelines, and multiple povs.Go into this with no expectations and you might end up loving it:)
