This was a good weekend read. I actually woke up at 5 am to finish the book. The last time I did something like this was for the exams 😂
I don’t want to overanalyze this as it was a fast, suspenseful and entertaining read. It had twists and turns on every chapters and felt like I was actually watching some movie. Pick it up if you are bored and enjoy psychological thrillers that keeps you guessing what’s next.
Some quotes from the book
Denial is a powerful defense mechanism
I believe that any human being is capable of terrible things if you push them hard enough
People dislike when things don’t meet their expectations
My takeaways
Take it with a grain of salt
- One lie often leads to another. Author demonstrates how a small lie eventually creates a much bigger problem.
- Choose your company wisely. The people around us can influence our choices, behavior and the way we see things.
- People are complicated. They never show their complete selves. You may know someone’s public personality but that doesn’t necessarily mean you truly know the person behind it.
- Trust is the foundation of any relationship but that doesn’t mean blindly believing someone. It needs to be earned but there should also be honesty and healthy boundaries around it.
- Own up to your mistakes and accept the consequences. Truth can be uncomfortable but avoiding it doesn’t make it dissappear. It will chase you until you find your peace with it.
