I just love a good domestic psych thriller but this was 200 pages too long. Really enjoyed the final act it got super intense and I can see why it’s one of the “classic” psych thrillers but maybe my expectations were a bit too high.

It was a good book, and a good plot, with morally grey characters, but still, it’s reading pace it’s really slow, and Rachel and Anna (the main characters) are really dislikeable.

This book took me on a journey! It was fascinating the whole way through. I love how effortless it felt to read and understand, how the events unfolded and were narrated by the three females' whose perspectives we view them from. I love how it shows how different things seem to others. I also find it amazing how they meshes together, and how the true events are revealed piece by piece.

I do wish, however, that we found out what happened to Scott and Kamal at the end, as the only thing that we are told is that the houses are left empty and we never hear of Kamal after his and Megan's last meeting, where she told him that she was going to tell Tom about the baby. I think it was okay to leave it out, but it would've provided a bit of closure and stopped the reader from wondering what happened to them, as well as Anna, Evie, and other characters, however, I think this is just a personal preference of mine.
