It reminds me of Girls on a Train, and just finishing The Last Mrs. Parrish...abusive relationship, manipulating, etc. that said, it kept me interested, and I wanted to know who was to blame. It was cleverly woven together, I had to reread parts to figure out who was who.

If you like a light thriller and interesting plot twists, without too much of tension this book will be perfect for you.

A story that follows an abusive marriage with twists and turns throughout the narrative, with themes of adultery, cunning, and domestic abuse. The story is entertaining for sure, but after a while the twists become a bit repetitive. The characters are pretty boring. It’s not fresh or new in any way. A good one-time read. On Audible, Julia Whelan narrates clearly but again, pretty monotonously.

I am about the last person on goodreads to read this book so I really have nothing new to add. This is a thriller full of lots of twists and turns about Vanessa, a divorcee living in NYC who is overly concerned with the woman who has replaced her in her ex's life.

Had to DNF this one…listening to it and it sounded so repetitive. May revisit but probably not

had all the parts to make it great but just didn’t read well… idk i just was bored except for like the last 80 pages and like even then when it was “exciting” i still didn’t really care… like the end of part one was really shocking for me bc i was really searching for a twist but that wasn’t one i had thought of so that really impressed me but like… the “big twist” wasn’t a twist at all. Vanessa was saying one thing and that was the truth… also i felt like the stuff in the epilogue was interesting but not necessary it just felt like it needed one more thing for the readers to go wow about.

Last 30 pages the paced picked up. A small twist at the end but the author didn’t fully flesh it out. I wish they would have. It took me awhile to get through because of the pace.
