All I Want

This book is wonderfully campy and meta. Every thriller trope you could possibly think of are in here and yet I still care about Emma and what is happening to her. I love this book and I'm so sad that so many others missed the humor and fun in the book.

so bad. so so bad.

A gaslighting story about a pregnant woman who moves into an old mansion in upstate NY with her rich husband. The gaslighting came from the real estate agent who sold them the mansion, and basically got a bunch of people to play with her in her web of lies, and all because “she could.” The story drew me in for 3/4 of the book - where we hear from the pregnant woman's perspective - until the story went cray; like, Gone Girl cray, where we get to hear from the real estate agent's diabolical mind. The story should have been over with the cherry-on-top ending...except it wasn't. The author tacks on a “it was all a dream and reality is your nightmare” type ending. It wasn't needed.

I was going to rate this book 4.5 stars until the last three pages. What was that....
