I have never hated a set of characters so completely. And that ending made me internally scream. I'm not okay.

it’s tea, not great tea or well-written, but it is piping hot and will have your jaw on the floor the entire time

So dark. So twisty. Omg.

Postpartum psychosis or just psychosis?! Who's to know. There was a lot to unpack in this and much of it was difficult to read as a mom myself. Even so, I couldn't put this down. 

This is the first CoHo book that I've read and actually really enjoyed. (Is enjoyed the right word when it comes to something this dark and twisty?) The romances in her other books seemed to give me "the ick" but this relationship was fine. Full of cringe moments but still fine.

The letter from Verity in the floor boards... is it the real truth or is the manuscript the real truth?
