"Big fan of Alice Feeney. I don’t think this one lived up to my expectations that I had after reading other books of hers. Great ending though."

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

"What. A. Ride. This is the type of book you read once more after understanding everything that is revealed. What a twisted, gripping story. All I can say is, go read it and find out for yourself. I don’t want to give anything away. "

"The plot twist in this story had me completely surprised. I thanked this story and it was definitely a page turner. I still can’t for sure if I believe either of the girls. They are “two peas in a pod”."

"Riveting. Epitome of psychological suspense. "

"omfg so good"

"This was pretty good, but the ending has me🤯. I’m so confused!"

"Lots of twist but easy to keep up with, just like I like it! "

"The author is honestly just a favorite for me and her writing style as well as ability to manipulate the reader is phenomenal "

"This book was super intriguing. It kept me hooked & left me questioning the ending but overall a good read. It was interesting to read the narrative from Amber when she was in a coma & how terrifying it is to not be able to physically be present but mentally you’re there. It definitely gave spooky vibes which made me want to know what happened. "

"Read this in two days. It was one of those books that I didn’t want to put down. So many twists and turns always had me second guessing everything. Such a great psychological thriller!"

""I tread carefully over a carpet of lies, trying not to disturb them."<br/><br/>4/4.5⭐<br/><br/>This is the second book I've read this week that I loved up until the ending &#x1f62d;. I'm not going to say much about this book because it's full of delightful twists and turns, but this is a must-read for psychological thriller fans. <br/><br/>This was definitely a page-turner for me, and I was automatically hooked on the story. Amber was a pretty good unreliable narrator, and I didn't want to punch her like I sometimes do with unreliable narrators &#x1f602;.<br/><br/>The story moves a bit slowly at times, but there's so much intriguing drama thrown in that it's totally fine. I finished this book within two days, and I definitely hope to see more from Alice Feeney. I just wish I felt better about the very end of the book."

"I didn’t really like it much and found myself confused. "

"What a great book. Great writing kept me engaged entirely. Good book if you’re looking for something to keep questioning the story"

"Pretty interesting. Enough twists to keep you reading. "

"Took a while to gain my interest, but about halfway through I was hooked. Great book!"

"A bit of a slow start but picks up to a very engaging twist! "

"Loved this book. The twists were great! I wish I could find another book like it!"

"This book is top tier! Feeney is an incredible writer and knows exactly how to keep you with your nose in this book, must read if you enjoy psychological thrillers! "

"I couldn't put it down! I kept thinking I knew what was going on and what was going to happen, but no! Another twist and another turn until the very end. Great book if you like mysteries/thrillers. Highly recommend "

"I would give this one a 3.5 - very slow start and hard to understand. Halfway through I was intrigued and needed to finish it, however the end I still don't fully understand. Little disappointed in this one. "

"Fast read, good twists and turns. Overall, an exciting thriller!"

"5/5 ….but what happened at the end?!"

"Slightly confused at end… who really was the bad guy..?"

"Wait…what!?!? Brilliantly told story that just got more and more unsettling. "

"What a great twisted book from one of my favorite authors that I’m glad I waited to read until I was in a reading slump. <br/>Did not expect the twist."

"it’s confusing at first but then the more you read, the more you learn. the untrustworthy narrator and imagery makes you feel like you’re being in the characters place. "

"hard to follow but in a good way (if that makes sense) you don’t know what’s true and what’s false, and it keeps you guessing until the very end"

"This book was so great.. I read it within a few hours. One of those books you stay up late just because you just can’t put it down. Suspenseful and kept me on the edge of my seat & constantly wondering what was to happen next. Just when you think you know you what’s happening/going to happen you get a new surprise. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for sure!!! "

"Honestly I was confused for most of the audiobook. First I thought she had split personalities. Not a fan of this book"

"Soooooo good"

"This was a super quick 2 day read. I thought I was following along but then was very confused. Once I figured out what was going on I couldn’t wait to finish it! "

"Unexpected twist! Loved it! "

"You have to push past the kind of tedious but necessary first half of the book. After that, it gets crazy and is so worth it!"

"Unexpected plot twist. I read this book in 2 days in never lost my interest I didn’t want to put it down"

"A greatly written psychological thriller that is full of unexpected twists. The book and suspense keep you at the edge of your seat. The ending leaves you with your jaw on the floor, wondering how you didn’t see that coming. "

"Great thriller!! Perfect for audiobook too! Performance was very easy to listen to. Several twists, will make you pause to reconsider! Loved it!"

"I absolutely loved this book. There were times I felt for the main character Amber. There where parts when I felt disgusted and frustrated! Definitely confused at times."

"Couldn’t give this 5 stars cause then ending left me totally confused, and by the looks of the reviews I wasn’t the only one"

"This was was a whirl of emotions: sympathy, hate, pity, love, confusion... My heart rate was extremely high about 75% of the time. A suspenseful thriller. "

"Wasn’t a big fan of the ending & some parts were confusing but love Alice!"

"(BIG SPOILER) The first 200 pages were intriguing (other than the author having no idea how 10-year-olds think or the language they use). Great plot, creative problem and interesting writing from inside the coma patient's mind. I worked my way through the story quickly...and then...maybe the laziest 50 pages I've ever read. Nothing clever here. No "twist" or big reveal. Instead, names are changed, some characters are imaginary, virtually all the characters are looney, and the story ends with an act that makes absolutely no logical sense. It's like the author got to this point and thought, "What do I do now? Oh, I'll just make every single character a crazy fraud." I swear, the last 4/5ths of this book just made me angry. This was my 2nd book by this author. I didn't like His & Hers either, but thought I would give her another chance. My mistake, it won't happen again. "

"Good story. Predicted the twists very early again but it was entertaining and memorable "

"I was super confused at the beginning of the book and it didn’t really get good until the middle. I want to attempt to re-read it to see if I understand it better. "

"One of the best psychological thriller I've read. Didn't see it coming!"

"This book has so many twists that it was definitely a page turner !!! "

"Excellent! Suspense that keeps you guessing. Loved it!"

"I liked fhe twist but I'm not sure abt the ending was it Edward knowing her secret or Claire?"

"the twists!"

"Kind of slow to start and hard to follow, but the end left me chilled to the bone!"

"Plot is full of twists and turns that I didn't see coming. Just when you think you know what will happen in the end, the author changes the script once again. Easy read. Slow at first but once it picks up I couldn't put it down."

"The ending leaves you with more questions than answers. It was a hard read to get in to from start to finish. I haven’t read one review where anyone understands the ending. "

"Absolutely loved this book!! Every twist and turn had me hooked!!!"

"Didnt intrigued fully "

"Twisty twisty!! Couldn’t put it down!! "

"2.5"

"It was so good. The book was filled with one plot twist after another and had me hooked. I really enjoyed it."

"I had a hard time at 1st really getting into this book…I do promise if you can read 1/2 way I swear you won’t regret it!!! I didn’t see the ending coming and I didn’t see a lot of the twist happen either really good book"

"This is definitely a slow burn which i wasn't necessarily excited about, but once it really got into the dirty details the story went from 0 to 100 real freaking quick! Ending is not at all what I expected and had my jaw on the floor."

"I've been reading all of her books after getting hooked from the "Queen of Twists" as they call her. I absolutely love that her books usually include SEVERAL twists, and the books are easy to devour however this one seemed a bit harder to get through. My main complaint is the ending. Just because I love twists doesn't mean I love cliffhangers, and that's what this felt like. I guess I would have appreciated either an author explanation, or a part 2...something to tie up the unresolved ending. "

"I hated this book. More specifically, hated the ending. It had me interested throughout the entire thing but the twist, ending and idea behind the entire book was just too much. Would not recommend. "

"Kept me guessing, and I am still not 💯 that I know what happened #whatatwist "

"An interesting plot that has lots of twists and turns."

"So suspenseful and could not put it down. The ending was a complete surprise. "

"Really great ending! I loved how the author left the reader pondering on what the protagonist was going to do next! "

"Loved this book! So twisty you question everything right up to the last page! "

"Incredible writing I read it twice."

"The twist in this book is slowly dealr out and the plot kept me on the edge of each page. I definitely recommend this as a great read!"

"Pros:<br/><br/>The writing was excellent and the pace made it so there was always something happening and getting to the next page or the next chapter was essential to figure it out.<br/><br/>I think for some people this is going to be among the best psychological thrillers they read and I would really enjoy seeing it transformed into a movie or mini-series.<br/><br/>Cons:<br/><br/>This just isn’t my type of book. I loved the premise and writing style but this was very similar to the Silent Patient in that it doesn’t clearly state things (or I missed them) like who is writing or experiencing a thing. At least this time I didn’t end up throwing the book out of rage at the end."

"I am shook. I still can’t get over the ending. "

"New favorite author! "

"Hard to put down! Such a good read with a twisty ending"

"It was really great! The twists in the book was so well done. Half the time I didn’t know what was happening. I still don’t 😂 but it took me on an emotional roller coaster and I highly recommend it."

"#thrillers #psychological_thriller The first page definitely grips you. There are LOTS of twists and turns. You won't be bored, I did guess at least half of them. It's not the best thriller but at 250 pages and a quick pace you can zip through it fast. The writing was just alright but it was a fun ride "

"Slow start at first, but as the plot started to unfold it was a book that was very difficult to put down. Very quick read and so many twists. Was loving it, but then it got pretty dark, one part had me wishing I never read the book, but had to keep going to the end. But I’m not really a thriller seeker. So if you love thrillers, mysteries, suspense this is a definite must read! Major shock wave!! "

"5/5"

"What interested me to read this is that the main character, who is telling the story, is in a coma! She is trying to figure out how she ended up in a coma before it is too late."

"Kept you guessing!"

"Highly recommend this book. Very twisted ending"

"Not what you expect..."

"Great book, big twist, I read it in a couple days! Trigger warning there is some sexual assault. But otherwise very good read, it centers around an event so the chapters are before, now, and after. Clever!"

"Great as an audiobook, loved the twists, and after finishing, I'm still not entirely sure what was real and what wasn't. "

"One of my favorite psych thrillers of all time. Keeps you guessing until the very end"

"Suspenseful and exciting"

"Oh. My. God. Never saw the twists coming. It’s been a while since I’ve read a book and then made my friend read it too 😁"
