Note: I'd just like to mention that I admire how the author takes her time to humanize homeless people and anything else who is in a situation in which they feel trapped rather that be literally or figuratively. I also admire how she took the topic of BDSM delicately and didn't dehumanize it and prioritize that acts like those are only harmful when they're nonconsensual.

A woman living in her car gets tangled up in more than she bargained for when she saves the life of a wealthy woman.
Another month, another great book club pick! I really enjoyed this one, which kept me entertained and on the edge of my seat the whole time. The chapters were super short (ALWAYS a plus), and the twists and turns made me excited to keep reading and find out what would happen next. I also really enjoyed the changing POVs, which I thought added a lot of layers and nuance to the story.
I did expect another somewhat more âgroundbreakingâ reveal at some point, but I think that is just a function of consuming a lot of thrillers and always expecting some massive shock at the eleventh hour. Overall, I thought this was really well paced and the plot unspooled pretty nicelyâand while there probably could have been another left turn at the end, Iâm not overly mad that there wasnât. As an added bonus, I actually really liked the main characters (even if I questioned some of their decisions), which can be rare for a thriller and which I always appreciate!
Recommended to anyone, but especially if you like: shifting POVs; psychological thrillers; short chapters
CW: Domestic violence/abuse; dementia; death of parent; discussions of suicide/suicide attempt; discussions of homelessness/poverty

While it was a little slow to start, the intrigue never stops. It increases with each chapter (short chapters are the best) and throws in punch after punch of âWTF?!â drama. This one is best if you go in blind, so I wonât say much else except that you will definitely have trust issues after finishing it.
Robyn Harding is SO GOOD at what she does!! Fans of âSleeping with the Enemyâ, âGone Girlâ, âKilling Eveâ and the like should flock to this book.
