My opinion may be in the minority, but hear me out.
When I first started this book, I was thoroughly invested and enjoying it. I continued to enjoy it in the middle and was eagerly awaiting the twist.
But when I got to it, nothing made sense at all.
If this book had been written in the third person, it might have made more sense, but it wasnโt.
There were so many plot holes plot holes.
For example, why would Tricia feel uncomfortable in the house (spoilers ahead: she literally murdered the woman and five or six others, yet she still jumps at every sound in the house)?
Also,she repeatedly mentions how her husband is such a good person, even though she barely knows him. Her constant reiteration made him seem like a red flag. Donโt worry; this isnโt a spoiler; itโs what the author wants you to think.
Now, about my theory, which what I was thinking when I was reading would have earned this book a 4 stars rating if it were true because it makes more sense than what the author wrote:
EJ shares the same first initial as Ethan, right? They both have extensive knowledge of wine and share a love for it. Ethan seemed unusually comfortable in the house and appeared to know his way around a large place, suggesting he might have been there before. EJ had been there many times and was fascinated by the house, mentioning it repeatedly.
So, one might think that EJ is actually Ethan, and poor Tricia is stuck with a narcissistic psychopath.
If the story had ended with him killing her or her escaping, it would have made the book so much better. I can imagine keeping the first and middle parts of the book unchanged and only altering the plot twist; it would have made more sense.
I canโt reveal the plot twist because I donโt want to spoil it, but I found it to be very disappointing, in my opinion.
I understand why many enjoyed it, and Iโm genuinely happy for those who gave it five stars, but it just doesnโt make sense to me and never will.

"I think I just know what's going on :
It's just my thoughts no spoilers but don't read if you haven't read the book in case they are right.
So this guy EJ name starts with E. What if he is ethan. The very perfect husband.
I mean he is also knows the wine well and he seems familiar with the place and now he wants to buy the house. In the tapes we hear EJ being fascinated about the place and wine.more in the comm"

Oh I loved this one, happy reading!!
Not the famous pll quote lol I hope it was good?
The twist was insane
That was exactly my reading experience as well. I did enjoy basically everything about the vibes, the twisted weird creepy characters up to that plot twist. You cannot do that when the book is in first person. It just does not make sense and I did not like it at all. But I did enjoy your review! You are not alone ๐ฅฐ

I thought I was so clever about my theory on Ethan being EJ. I picked up on both of them being blonde, the wine thing, dead parents, rich, etc. But nope! Now itโs clear from reading the reviews that I wasnโt the only one. What a let down.
Iโd have even liked the idea of Ethan being EJ and the one who kills Dr Hale and Tricia being PL and neither of them knowing about eachother being a patient until the end and itโs then a battle of who stays alive? Then Triciaโs mothers phrase of โpeople can keep a secret if one of them is deadโ� would still be relevant
AGREE! I thought she Ethan was EJ and that would make SO much more sense and make for such a good ending
This was the twist I was expecting, too, and yeah, what a crazy letdown the real ending was. Laughable and made no sense.
