If the goal of this book was to make me not want to have or adopt children... mission accomplished!!!

Well, with Christopher as a husband you for sure don’t need enemies anymore.

Loved the ride, it was mysterious, thrilling and super gripping. I will definitely read more from this author and the audiobook was fantastic!
I take one star for the incompetent stupidity that is Christopher and his audacity. Also because some things felt a bit too heavy handed and one sides. Would’ve liked to have some more nuance here and there with Janie.

I loved this book up until the last hour… I just think it ended on a note that really blamed Janey for her own abuse and put abused children in a bad light. Yes she was psychotic but the ending with the mum seemed to try to justify all of the abuse she had done to janey. That really disappointed me
