I could not put this book down (mostly). Claustrophobic, domestic thriller meets psychic powers.  

There are a few points in the book that the story meanders a little, but so close to perfect.  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5

Although this novel touches on subjects that are difficult to read about, it was so thoughtfully written. I enjoyed this book. 

"If you could go back to a previous era, what era would that be?"

No thank you, I am good.
