A very good thriller, had me very stressed out especially because of all the gaslighting. I wanted to shake Jo at times because she just believed whoever told her anything and didn’t really think critically, but also I sympathize because I think I would be like that too in this situation

WHEW this book INFURIATED me. There's nothing that gets my goat more a woman not being believed. But I liked it very much, and I really wanted to get to the end. Def stayed up too late listening to it. Ooh it takes quite a storyteller to make me want to have a Spongebob-level freakout. Excited to read this author again.
