I can't say that I entirely understand what happened in the end or why. The timing of events doesn't completely make sense in my head which is why this isn't a 4 star read. I find that with thrillers like this sometimes the endings start to feel extremely far-fetched to me and while this hasn't happened for this book I can see how it was teetering on that edge.
HOWEVER, this was a quick read with plenty of twists and turns. I wasn't completely gripped but I was certainly interested enough to want to finish it.

So, there were a few things that I simply didn't enjoy about this book:
- I didn't feel like Teddy sounded like a five-year-old. Maybe seven but not five (then again I don't speak with five-year-olds often (or ever) so...)
- There were undertones of transphobia which was a big yikes and made me incredibly uncomfortable.
But, the story itself kept me incredibly immersed and has been on my mind since I finished it, which is what I want from a mystery thriller (which I thought this was). I would've given this book four stars if it weren't for bullet point two.
