kat’s Reviews > The Ex > Status Update

ok i figured out the twist a few sentences before it was revealed. as plot twisty as it was, it’s very ridiculous. they’ve been dating for several months & he doesn’t mention it? neither his friends? even the nice one? why say she was hiding things if she’s dead? also his friend thinking cassie was her? would’ve been a good time to tell both of them she’s dead. idk who the ex pov is then.

ok i think its about to be revealed but the way joel said “cassie…” after she tells him about francesca harassing her, i think francesca is dead and the ex isn’t her. which i already suspected the last part but not the dead part

another mid read update: i don’t think the person calling cassie is the ex (whether or not that’s francesca idk) bc the ex never mentions the calls and isn’t she a bit preoccupied trying to keep joel safe? shouldn’t her messages bc more like “i know what you’re hiding” to scare her? like why are they all sexual slurs

mid read prediction: could zoe somehow be the ex? it would explain how the bookstore got vandalized since she has a key, and right now she said she wants to go to an early lunch. is it to meet up with her detective cousin? i looked at the previous chapters and it says they were roommates in college and that she has a bf. so. idk where i’m going with this

lydia is so mean smh. i wonder if there’s more to why she’s like that

also i think zoe may have something to do with this. but joel didn’t recognize her when he first came into the shop and met cassie? but idk why include her character so much if she’s not hiding something

cassie is suspicious. did she kill someone?

is the ex’s name francesca? bc if it isn’t then i bet the twist will be that joel was cheating or something

i don’t like how the ex’s pov is in first person but the new girl is third. is that symbolism for something

barely read anything but it’s fine bc this’ll be my 20th book this year and i’ll have reached my reading goal. it will not take me over a month to read this. i give it two weeks tops
