The Lake of Lost Girls

★★★★★ 1/5

Called the plot twist in the first 30 minutes.

This book is so popular. I wanted to believe!

Anyway, called the plot twist in the first 30 minutes and then spent the rest of the book wondering if there was another one I wouldn’t see coming. There was not.

I feel like the thriller genre is allowed to get away with too much shit and we THE PEOPLE should have higher standards man. 💪

The audiobook was fun. The cover is pretty! Why was there a totally unnecessary crime podcast subplot? Honestly there were many annoying attempts at misdirection that made for lots of loose ends.
