If you enjoy Only Murders In the Building or White Lotus you will love this mystery thriller by Lucy Folly. You follow multiple points of view, as the intertwining events of past and present become of web of interconnection, dependency, and moments that reflect when life is stranger than fiction. 

4.5/5

3.5

This book was mediocre. It had been on my TBR for so long - and I decided to listen to an audio version. With so many different viewpoints I think this is a book you have to read on your own. I thought that the ending happened way too abruptly. Will is also a piece of trash.

Darker than expected (not a bad thing) and in my opinion it wrapped up too quickly but caught and kept my attention effectively
