An amazing psychological thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat and leaves you wanting to unearth more answers to the burning questions that pop up. I audibly gasped as secrets were unfolding with every twist and turn. And like the characters in the book, I felt a sense of closure as I turned the last page. Lucy Foley is a mastermind, and this might be her best one yet!

This book made me feel happy and sad

I wouldn’t recommend reading this one. I only liked the detectives character in this but I didn’t enjoy reading from all the different points of view.

You will love this book if you like The Red Queen series and the Hunger Games. It is a great enemies to lovers novel, a wonderful adventure and a very addicting book.

I read it all by myself. I love the princesses!

I was proud of myself because I’m trying to read this book all by myself!

I was disappointed that this was not a novel but 6 short stories based in New York and a novella based in Hollywood in 1936. The novella made up for the other stories.

If I could rate this book zero stars I would. It has the stereotypical romance plot and I didn’t like either Rue or Eli. There were past characters from her other books mentioned in this but I would rather read one of those than this one. This is my second book of hers and it wasn’t for me.

Inaccurately marketed as a crime thriller, this slow burn of a political novel is unlike anything I’ve read. The protagonist is a detective, but positioned in a PR management liaison role between the police and journalists. I cared enough about him as a character to stick with the drier parts of the office politics to get to the cold case that resumes in a unique and gratifying way. Overall the novel hangs together narratively, has interesting characters, broaches topics I hadn’t seen addressed in fiction before, or so well, and gives the reader enough of a plot payoff to read through the complex, intellectual matter that takes up much of its 576 pages. But if you pick it up looking for a page-turning mystery, you’ll be disappointed.

I like the 3 endings. It made the end fun
