Love a slow-burn thriller and it kept me guessing up until the end! I also empathised with Anna too, her story making sense later in a sad way. It's the type of book you'd want to reread right after you finished to see what you missed! Should check content warnings first tho

This book mad me cry, it made me angry, and it surprised me SEVERAL times. The characters were realistic, and its rare I can praise a man for writing from the perspective of a female character so well.

Took me a little while to get into the story but once you’re in, you’re IN! 

Had to take away a star though because the largest character flaw is the fact that Anna is “delusional” because she’s an agoraphobe and is an alcoholic.
