I have been hearing about this book for such a long time, so I finally picked it up. I heard that it is more sarcastic than a thriller, so I will have fun reading it. So let’s see my take on it. The book follows the story of Lucy, who many years ago was found drowned in the blood. The blood belonged to her best friend, Saavy, who was found dead. But Lucy has no memory of what exactly happened. So one day, a podcaster, Ben, starts investigating the case, and Lucy must uncover what exactly happened.
Let me start by saying that I went into this book with no expectations, but after hearing so much talk about how much fun I would have. However, I have to say the book disappointed me a lot. Like, where are the thrillers with revelations that will drop the jaw? Let’s start with the plot, which was so predictable that I found it engaging but annoying because the same thing kept repeating. Lucy keeps repeating the same thing, which I find boring.
The protagonist, Lucy, was like the side characters. She was just going with the flow to find the killer of Savvy. The only thing that was intriguing about her was the voice inside her, which I thought would play a huge role in the plot twist, but it was just a part of the play, I guess. She was not seeking the truth; she was just playing around, which I found lacking in the protagonist.
Now, the most annoying part is the romance of whatever one calls it. Like, hello, we are trying to solve a case, and suddenly, the readers are thrown into an attraction part, which didn’t sit well with me. I was hoping for a good plot twist, but OMG, it was so disappointing, and I felt that it was written very simply.
There were many annoying loopholes, as I didn’t feel any thriller vibe from the book.
I didn’t like the ending. The plot twist was so predictable, and I didn’t find the book engaging.
I don’t recommend the book.
Rating: 2/5
