This book was slow at the beginning and didn't start getting good until the end. Definitely had some plot twists. Overall it was just ok.

2.0

Let me start out by saying that Lauren Fortgang was an incredible narrator for this story. Her voice was absolutely perfect to listen to, although it wasn't enough to make me like this book. 

There were some surprising twists to the story, but again, it wasn't enough to overcome the mediocre plot. My main issue is that it relies on my very least favorite plot device in the entire world, and paints someone with a mental illness as the violent villain, when in fact, nearly every single character was a villain in some way. The only character that was likable in any way was the teenage son. 

Ultimately, this was a book with some surprising parts, but in the end, disappointing.
