This was recommended by Freida McFadden in her FB group and page.

At first I wasn’t for sure if I was going to like it because it was a bit slow. However, I ended up enjoying it.

I did not care for Suzette because she definitely was crazy but I feel that something definitely happened after losing Olivia that made her this way. Just didn’t like her.

Jacob was one of my favorite in the end.

The ending was happy after all that crazy.

I listened to the audiobook and that's probably the only reason I finished it. It's not that it's a bad book, it's just not my style. It's very descriptive and detailed, but I'd recommend this more to cozy mystery fans who enjoy books without violence or profanity (even though I don't consider this a mystery). There's no sex, vulgar language, and even the rebellious character is tame. The story involves abuse and kidnapping, but it's presented in a digestible manner without anything graphic or upsetting. I've never read fiction like this, but now I understand what readers want when they ask for gentle suspense books without explicit violence.
This is not horror and it's not a thriller.
