This book is very different from Final Girls, so whether you loved or hated that book, it's worth giving this one a shot! Thank you so much to Dutton for sending me a copy to review.30:T5c7,WOW. I had a hard time putting this book down. I would've given it 5 stars if not for a few glaring issues:

1) There is no way that Theo would be so forgiving of Emma. I thought it was all a ruse and he and Chet were both in on it, acting friendly and forgiving to throw her off, but nope. He actually seemed to like her despite the fact that she ruined a good portion of his life (which I don't blame her for, in all honesty, which leads to my next point...)
2) The "lies" were built up in a way that we were to believe Emma was an unreliable narrator, but every time she dropped a "bombshell" lie, it was... underwhelming and completely understandable? I definitely expected her to prove to be a lot more unreliable than she actually was. On the same note, the title is a bit misleading as well.
3) I'm a librarian, and the idea that a book from the 1970s about mental illness in women would still be on the shelf of the library 15 years later is highly improbable. We do weeds constantly to make room for new material. Unless that book was somehow checked out on the regular (or the library was so archaic and lacking funding that they never updated their materials) that book would've been long gone.

Ok, there are my issues. Other than those, I loved this book. It's my second Riley Sager book I've read (the first being Lock Every Door) and I'm HOOKED. I want to read them all now. It was the perfect choice to read on vacation.31:T5a6,15 years ago , Emma Davis attended summer camp at Camp Nightingale , though arriving late , which led to her being bunked with girls a few years older than her .
