This may be one of the scariest books I have read this year!  It definitely is not for everyone, as the main character spends much of the book struggling to bond with her daughter and then suspecting that something is not quite right with her and her moral compass. It’s just such a horrifying idea, that watching it play out, even mildly… it was enough to give me goosebumps. I enjoyed it, and it kept me on the edge of my seat wondering what was real. My favorite kind of thriller.
