2,5/5. An entertaining when you don’t think about it too much.

The first 2/3 of it was good enough, we want to go what happen, the pace is good, we turn the page and enjoy doing so. But when you close the book, get out of the ambiance, and start thinking about it, you see the unrealistic element that seem to be everywhere. Why everybody is so happy to talk about their dark history to a newcomer wanna-be filmmaker? Why does relation and intimacy go so fast? Why do the event just fit perfectly together everywhere? The narrative is a bit force from time to time and we saw it easily but still when you are reading it you enjoy doing so.

The last third is less fun. The forced elements are just too many and too much forced, so we go from unrealistic to just nonsense. The end was a big deception and I saw I coming from very far. So overall the book is a bit of a remake of many plots seen in the last years, lack originality and even the execution is just average. And it’s even worse since I was expecting this book a lot, waiting for it and with this author, well I had way higher expectations.
If you don’t read much thriller you might enjoy it still, but if you have read a good bunch, the similarity, the tropes and the lines and glue trying to keep it together will just be too evident to just let them pass.
