This book was actually really good. There were a couple of twists, I saw a few of them coming, but the end one got me good. I did not expect that ending at all. It was a wild ride and I loved having it come from the perspective of Anna, she seemed a tad unreliable because of the pills and the alcohol but it made it super interesting.

dark tense medium-paced

2.0

 First time reading a “psychological thriller”. I liked the idea a nosy neighbor POV. The audiobook narrator did a good job making the reader feel like Anna was descending into madness. The book could’ve benefited from being at least 100-150 shorter.
