Well, color me disappointed. I had been seeing amazing reviews for this on Bookstagram and that made me so excited. Now that I've finished, I don't get the hype. This is a slow-burn, but it does have enough suspense that it makes you want to keep reading. But, for what? This was so predictable and I guessed the twist early on. Lisa Jewell's books have always been hit-or-miss for me, and, unfortunately, this was another miss. One thing you should know going into this is that it is not a thriller and very much a suspense.
