Mood reader, but a sucker for fantasy. 🗡️✨ Can we bring back Book It for adults too? I’d earn so many personal pan pizzas.

    Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

    3.25⭐️ I struggle to understand how Chloe was good at her job as a psychologist given that she seemed to jump to such wildly wrong conclusions in her personal life.

    She doesn’t let anyone speak and explain what we learn would be pertinent information.

    The only thing that she was partially right about guessing was where Riley was.

    I’ve read enough books that I was able to predict the main twist from the get go. But took sooo long to get there.

    Things that seem so wildly nonsensical:
    - Why would her father think that his choice was a good idea…in like any version of reality?
    - Why would Chloe trust the alarm system of a man who she feels has directly threatened her? Especially given the video feed aspect?
    - While I’m sure there are very specific circumstances in which this would make sense, why did she say she was planning to get PhD BEFORE her Masters??

    Anywho, this dragged a lot but became interesting toward the very end as the reveals started happening.

    3.5⭐️ This was interesting, but didn’t necessarily present anything surprising about the cult mentality. However, I think it could be an enlightening read for those people who aren’t too far gone, but are very susceptible to these types of influences whether it’s public figures and influencers, workout classes, or religion.

    And while it was stated that there was no such thing as brainwashing, I felt like there wasn’t enough discussion on how people fall prey to them beyond biology and life experience. But maybe that’s a whole other book.
