I'll give it to Riley Sager, there are some great twists and turns in this book. Were they realistic? Not really. The style of the book is written in a way that makes it a fast read and hooks you in, especially flipping between past and present. I just couldn't immerse myself enough in the story to really buy into what was actually happening.
I think it was on purpose, but the characters also aren't the most likeable, which always makes it difficult for me to get into a book. This is my first Riley Sager novel, and I honestlu probably won't pick up another one.
