This was pretty solid, but I wasn't a huge fan of the open ending . But this was an interesting look at mental illness and factitious disorder imposed on another . I liked this book better than Have You Seen Her.

Buddy read this book with Kriti of Armed With A Book
Overall thoughts:
* It was an okay thriller book, nothing mindblowing, nothing extravagant. The plot twists were delivered slowly and subtly.
* I think the characterization and the conversation surrounding one of the MC's mental illness wasn't divulged effectively or in a more lengthy manner that will make the readers understand better the reasons why she did what she did.
* When the reveals were thrown at me at the latter half of the book, I can't help comparing it to Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn
Trigger/Content Warnings: cheating, murder, child abuse (view spoiler), death of a loved one
