It started a little slow but there are so many twists along the way that it keeps you wanting to read on. 
The only thing that didn’t line up was the lack of police anywhere in the novel.

I found this book drew me in from the first couple of pages. It had many twists and turns and although I did catch a few, many a things still left me surprised.

This is the craziest, most original book I've ever read. All these twists and turns got me shook. The only reason for not giving it 5 stars was that it felt a bit unrealistic/too much at times. I'll think about this book for a while and recommend it to everyone.

Oh my goodness, what a ride. A psychological thriller at its finest. It's hard to write a review without spoilers, but it's about a mother and daughter
Maggie and Nina told from their points of view and differing time lines.  Just as you think you have it all sussed, the reasons become gradually exposed. It's twisty, hard-hitting, and gritty. I loved it, but I'm worried about what that says about me
