Who We Were in the Dark hooked me when I read the premise - giving me vibes similar to that of A Simple Favor and I had to know the bigger story. Unfortunately, where A Simple Favor grabbed me was the characters and this one didn't really achieve that. I felt the characters weren't relatable and honestly felt a little boring. The setting and plot were generally okay but nothing I would obsess over. I felt like I was waiting on the edge of my seat for some big reveal that just... never came?

This one is less thriller and more mystery, which maybe if I knew that going in I would have expected less and probably not have been left wanting more.
