I have read a pretty good amount of thrillers this year, still have a lot to go, but have read all the ones people talk about the most. Gone girl by Gillian Flynn is essentially what I started with this year and I’ve never found anything as good mostly because revealing the plot twist half way through is genius and I wonder why more books don’t do that. The one that comes to mind that did is the housemaid by Freida McFaddenand as much as that book was just “alright” I felt after the reveal it got MUCH better and had a great 3rd act. I think seeing the fall out of a reveal is way better than just leaving us on it at the end. Let me know what yall think.

Just finished this book, I know it’s been talked about a bunch but I just wanted to see what everyone else who read it might’ve thought. I didn’t hate the book at all like some people, I just thought it was okay, but is that plot twist really that mind blowing? We didn’t even know the man broke into the house until the last 20% of the book and it’s revealed who he was right after. I feel like the entire intrigue of the book was that Alicia wasn’t the one responsible, or at least I thought, but she actually is 😆. I think the bigger shock factor was the Theo storyline outside of the asylum taking place in the past. Anyway, let me know what you guys thought!
