Lowen decides to keep the manuscript hidden from Jeremy, knowing its contents could devastate the already grieving father. But as Lowen’s feelings for Jeremy begin to intensify, she recognizes all the ways she could benefit if he were to read his wife’s words. After all, no matter how devoted Jeremy is to his injured wife, a truth this horrifying would make it impossible for him to continue loving her.
What a mindfuck. I stayed up all night reading this, finishing it only hours after barely sleeping for 5h straight. Insane. Usually I had books that are this tense. I get too tangled up in stories. However, I loved this. It's just so on point!
Things I liked:
- The suspense in the first part of the story, where nothing of interest happens but the tension is still very strong.
- The interesting plot idea
Things I did not like:
- The execution of the plot. The final plot twist is really kind of stupid and not believable at all.
- Flat characters. I mean, who is Jeremy, apart from a guy that likes to get his dick sucked? I still have no clue.
- Illogical and unnecessary plot lines. Why the horrific accident in the first pages? Why is the relationship with her agent given so much attention when it says so little?
All in all, this book left me disappointed.
I think it's a good book, it kept me intrigued the whole time. The final twist is okay, but I didn't like how it was executed. It was quite long the explanation with Verity's letter and truthfully the open ending was not what I liked the most.
Furthermore and lastly, I don't mind reading +18 scenes, but there comes a limit in which I'm so tired of them. In this book there are too many for my taste and they tend to be very detailed, which at some parts I found unpleasant.
