Don't get me wrong, I'm a raging feminist and agree with everything the author screams at us from her soap box about men and patriarchy, but this book promised to be a thriller, not a lecture. The first half was semi-engaging, the second was a hate read for me. Boring. Pointless. The siblingship DNA test was a fun touch, for someone working in the industry. Complete bullshit of course, but then we're also expected to believe Gracie looked down from an 11th story window while drugged, drunk and brutalised, and saw that the man in a ground floor flat had three studs in his neck, so I guess it's all par for the course.

After her first book, I was expecting something along the same lines. This was much more contemporary and domestic but still just as good of a read.

When Gracie takes a rare night off from motherhood to get some sleep in a fancy hotel, she lets loose and ends up in the hotel bar. Hours later, she awakens in a stranger’s hotel room, and witnesses something from the window she’s not sure is real. When it turns out that it is, Gracie has to decide if she’ll reveal her secrets and blow up her marriage to help solve the mystery.

Boy, did this book go in directions I didn’t think it would. But that’s a good thing. It kept me on the edge of my seat, and the voice of Gracie, expertly crafted by author Kylie Orr, kept me turning every page. She was such an interesting and relatable character, and the situations she kept finding herself in were so interesting that I just had to keep reading to find out what would happen. Definitely one for those who enjoy domestic thrillers where everyday lives are broken down by lies and their consequences.
