Oh shit

This book is heavy to hold

Wait I’m confused so it’s believed that she attacked him in the hotel room but know she might have pushed him off the cliff. Do people think she carried him up the mountain? That’s not explained

Also what’s with the weird random saying a character’s full name?

Why is Leslie the only character that is mentioned by her full name?

“Over the years, Ellie Reiner had been nearly as persistent as Grace with letters and emails asking for Sidney’s help” YOU ALREADY TOLD US THIS!!!! Then the previous sentence “I received your letters, all of them” that can easy be deduced, we didn’t need the redundancy

Did the author get amnesia, does he think the readers have it?

Why is the author reintroducing us to a character (pages 29 and 108)? This is the second book in a row where the author repeats information. How did an editor not catch this? It feels like there’s barely any editors anymore

The copy I got from the library has the pages inserted backwards so I’m reading this upside down

I’m having a hard time believing that the parents don’t know the most basic details of the case. They don’t know the names of the other coeds that went missing? They didn’t even know that Tammy was Jessica’s RA or even Tammy’s name? The police would’ve immediately made that connection, I know they thought Tammy ran away but that connection would’ve still been there

There’s a lot of telling instead of showing. I should’ve written down exact quotes. I know there’s one that’s something like “I fiddled with my ring. I do that when I’m nervous” that second part isn’t needed. A lot of people fiddle with their jewelry when nervous, show it. There’s something Ryan said that made me roll my eyes, can’t find the exact quote

The author repeats how the lake got its nickname of Doll eyed Lake twice. She explains it first on page 8 and then again on page 106. Did she think the audience forgot?

I like how the edges look burned

What was even the point of the Jax storyline?

Why is this book so long? Have we established what time of the year it is cause it would look suspicious to have smoke coming from the chimney during the non winter months

“It’s still your villain monologue-spill the tea” the way I cringed

I feel bored. Might just skim the rest or jump to the ending

This page should’ve been re-written, it reads as clunky with the use of his name several times

I know of pop culture podcasters that hate everything pop culture related, anything mainstream yet still do a pop culture podcast despite not knowing who anyone or anything is. Clearly just in it for the money and views but the audience can always tell

One specific person did not know who Julia Roberts is, lol ok
