While reading this story I probably rolled my eyes a few times at the storyline. Obsessed girl who only wants to find love? Gets a little too obsessed? … Not exactly the thriller I was expecting, but then the plot twists start rolling in and I think to myself, ‘dang, Collins got me.’

My favorite thing about thrillers is being tricked. I love when I realize I was wrong the whole time. Yes, I said it, I LOVE BEING WRONG.

Although the way too long, pretty unrealistic emails were tiring in the beginning, it all made sense in the end.

This is a hard story to review as I don’t want to reveal a THING. A good cast of characters that were easy to follow and manage.

I was really annoyed with the name “Morgan” for a man as I was confused what gender at first as the name can go both ways. And even with that personal annoyance, the author added a little blurb how the name Morgan can be for a man or woman, etc, etc. I felt creepily ‘seen’ in that moment… much like Rosie watching me… hmm..

Overall, a great little thriller. Not too long. Easy to read. Feel satisfied at the end. What else can you ask for?
