Twisty Thriller!

With short, wild chapters unfolding a dark tale of murder with details captured in a diary lost and then found, I had fun reading this and being blown away by the twists that keep the story going and me reading far longer than I should have to find out what the real truth is! It is a great psychological thriller! Rose, self diagnosed psychopath, was certainly an interesting character. Not adverse to murder if it makes a problem go away. Especially if it is someone who has access to a private diary written at a dark and troubling time in her life. Not that I condone murder but it really would be awful to have private thoughts turned into a bestseller. Though that is just the first act! It get crazier from there and I really enjoyed the twists and unraveling of the past to something true. This story does have gaslighting and grooming, possible unreliable narrators, people wanting to use the diary to get famous, and wild schemes to get a certain laptop back. I had fun reading this, twisty craziness and all, and I am glad I got the chance to do so. I will definitely be looking into what else Natalie Barelli has written because she had me hooked for this whole story!
