I was in the mood for a thriller and decided to purchase this book on my kindle. I did a quick glance through the synopsis and reviews. Since it has 4.5 stars I went ahead and bought it.

I can usually handle books on infidelity pretty well, but this was waaaaaay triggery. The main character is pretty narcistic, and very quickly falls for her bff's boyfriend. She talks about how controlling and superficial her bff is, and how she (main character) is the single girl artist/ math nerd.

The main character is awkward (in a cute way, of course). Texts the boyfriend excessively, reads his novel, intimate conversations, goes for walks sith hin whild the BFF is asleep. This is suppose to be a thriller, but I think it is more of a romance with thriller backdrop.

All in all it was too much, and I had to return it for a refund. I feel bad for not giving the book a fair shake, but I was wincing reading every interaction between the main character and the boyfriend.

I got a zombie book instead. Here's hoping for less triggers. :)

I can understand that. I got 5 pages into The Birthing House. It's suppose to be a suspense/horror theme. He walks in on her with his ex bf and then blames himself for not being man enough. I went outside and threw a few things. After I walked away I was able to pick it back up and am half way through it now. Hope your zombie book is better!
