Too predictable and choppy.
This book was SO GOOD! Top 5 favorite books for sure. Gave me full body chills at the last line
Wow. This book. Calling it a psychological thriller barely scratches the surface. Not for the faint of heart.

So upsetting and disturbing and chilling, but at the same time so honest and intriguing and absorbing. I’m not sure why I wanted to read it at this particular juncture in my life (some of the story lined up with some of my own recent story), and to be sure, it’s a difficult read, but more difficult to not read it in a weird way.

This was one of those books that got me into reading again & I read it so dang fast... extra stars for that.
This story is unlike anything I've read before. A bit slower but at the same time very intense.
Don't think I'd necessarily categorize it as a mystery/thriller per say, but definitely a psychological drama that I found interesting and captivating.
I found Blythe relatable and empathized with her character for sure. I'm so curious how I'd feel reading this story as a mother and how that could possibly affect my perspective!

Para ser de las primeras novelas que leo de este género, no puedo negar que haya tenido un mal comienzo. No lo habría escogido de primeras, pero no me arrepiento de haberlo leído.
Ahora bien, no lo recomendaría. Es la típica historia que te gusta contar entre vermuts a tus colegas porque es muy bizarro y engancha, pero nada más.
He decidido ponerle 3 estrellas en vez de las 4 que había pensado porque el final me ha parecido precipitado, previsible y superficial. Eso sí, sabiendo que es la primera novela de la autora, tiene su mérito: la narración es buena y te tiene en vilo el 90% de la lectura.

Exciting plot and slow twists. Meditation on women’s voices, motherhood, and gaslighting. Would read more like this!
Pretty dark but what seems like a very close to the truth account of what motherhood can also be.
