I will definitely be reading more by Peter Swanson! This was such a fun, twisty, cat and mouse read. With 3 very distinctive parts- each introducing new characters and a new twist- it felt like 3 separate stories woven together, pulling you along for a wild ride. The characters are all psychotic in their own ways but you kinda love them anyway. Lily feels like the female Joe (from You). You know her way of thinking is crazy but she makes it so believable that you feel like you must be crazy to be rooting for her. Ambiguous ending but I liked it.

I haven't enjoyed a book like this in a while. Excellent and with so many cliffhangers at exactly the best parts

Note to self: please, stop randomly picking up books written by male authors you know nothing about and expect not to get cringed.
