Oh my gosh. I loved this book from the second I opened it to the very last page. I keep typing stuff and deleting it, because it will probably spoil the book. There is just so much I can say about this book. I was in such a huge reading slump, but this brought me out of it. I went in completely blind, as I do most of the time. I highly suggest doing that. As always, if you have triggers, you should check them before going in blind. This was just a great thriller. I found myself trying to solve a mystery. I felt compassion when necessary. The writing is 🤌🏻. You feel what you're supposed to feel. You gasp at all the right places. Maybe even hold a breath you didn't realize you were holding. 😂 What more can I say? Read it. 

⭐️ wasted my time
⭐️⭐️ not terrible but not great
⭐️⭐️⭐️ good, but wouldn't read again.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ really liked it and recommend it!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ absolutely loved it! Move it up on your TBR

- fast paced and easy to read writing style with short chapter 
- little bit too much about her drinking, but it showed her mental state clearly  
- good plot twist, I was not expecting (author toyed with readers emotions), - but the ending was not exactly connected to the story, it could have been the ending of any story and you would most likely not expect it
- possible to see into Anna’s thought, through both the writing style and her thoughts
