Watched today I've seen better movies than this year but I really wasn't keen on it thought it was meant to be about strippers but it's more about sex and male nudity especially which put me off the movie avoid

A little bit formulaic and unoriginal
As much as this has been dubbed the next Girl on a Train, that was part of the problem - it was too much the same. A slightly neurotic protagonist, and a typical tyrannical male character with a dash of Christian Grey involved.
The structure was well done, going back and forth the different narratives, so it was totally reminiscent of the different stories in Girl on a Train. Because of the formulaic story, the whodunnit ends up becoming predictable. You just need to choose which tyrannical male character it could be. Slightly disappointed but still readable.

I usually dont read novels like this, and this book reminded me of exactly why! The male lead was so alpha male that it was obnoxious and insulting to me as a female. The female lead was just as frustrating, but maybe thats because shes the stereotypical strong female lead. Both characters were so frustrating and cliché that I almost couldnt finish the book. Despite this, I actually enjoyed the story itself. Even though her characters made me want to pull my hair out, the author knows how to tell a story.
