Status Updates From The Manchineel

Wouldn’t it be great if they decided to trust sierra with this and they Elyse gives him one of the caramels on the way out.

He should have stayed in the hospital, leaving was a stupid decision. It takes away what little plausible deniability he had.

I’m sorry, but I can’t be convinced that he actually loved her. He loved what he could gain from marrying her.

Not him leaving a voicemail…

Her headed to Florida to kill George’s mom is great, I don’t know why that lady hadn’t considered it when she called.

I’m wondering if Elyse is a reliable narrator or not. Also Ramos’ attorney being fine with his client calling Elyse’s company that she’s working with is crazy.

I feel like this book started out where I wanted to root for the main characters. But then I realize they are both terrible. Ben is a cheater, no matter his reasons. If he ends up with Elyse, he will eventually do the same thing to her. And she’s a mentally ill muderer, she is trapping him in her web and when he eventually feels trapped, he’ll search for a way out and she will give it to him.

Janine telling her that she’s taking over as her manager is great, I hope this causes Elyse to spiral.

Of course he slept with her. It’s interesting that he goes on and on about how repulsed he is by her but still managed to have sex with Ana.

Not him sending an incriminating text. I know she had a meeting with him on the books…but still.

I hope that means she’s going to try and kill Charles? Is that crazy for me to say?

I find it interesting that she can’t afford her electricity bill but somehow still managed to see her therapist at the beginning of the book.

I can’t lie, I was kind of hoping she would leave something for Ana to ingest while the two were in NY so she would die while they were gone for work.

I don’t know why but Elyse is giving Penn Badgley vibes, from “You”. Can’t remember his characters name in that. Becoming obsessed and then killing people, then moving.

Sounds like she’s just gonna go ahead and kill Ana outside of Ben’s influence.

Yup, that’s exactly what this sounds like.

Okay, so I didn’t expect to get another POV and I don’t know how I feel about Ben being married, but he’s supposed to be the MMC. I’m so confused.

It’s giving that she killed Stella’s husband for her.

Why is it sounding like she did something nefarious for Stella??

I find it very interesting that she poisons George with a plant and then becomes a gardener.

So you’re telling me that this doctor has been seeing her since she was 14 and her killing this man is new information?
It hasn’t said how old she is but she’s at least an adult.

Eww George was a pedofile.

Ok, so I have another book with an FMC that’s haunted by a dead…lover. I’m unclear if they were married or not.
