so-soMy first Lisa Unger and from reviews I realize it might not have been the best place to start. A group of influencers are brought together for a game of hide and seek. Each one has a need for the $ prize and redemption, but a dangerous storm is coming and their famous hosts are facing a deadly reckoning. I too found it hard to sympathize with the characters, but it was an interesting plot. A 3⭐️story that kept me reading until the end.
pickThe main character is referred to as a chaos muppet and that about sums it up.
Finishing up The Seven Dials Mystery for discussion with #ChristiesCapers enjoying All the Other Mothers Hate Me on audio, and starting We Love You, Bunny for a BR.
panThis book was just a mess. There were so many different things going on and side stories that I just didn't care about. There was no reason to care because there were so many characters, and they all were insufferable. I saw all the "twists" coming, nothing new, unfortunately. This whole book was just boring and following a bunch of unlikable people. I was so bored ? 1/5
so-soI usually thoroughly enjoy Lisa Unger‘s books and most often read her backlist titles. Therefore, I was thrilled to place a hold on Libby when her latest thriller, Close Your Eyes and Count to 10, became available. However, this time, I was underwhelmed. The story heavily focuses on the unhealthy aspects of social media, influencers, and the pursuit of followers.
