I really enjoyed this one! It was a captivating thriller and I didn’t know who to trust.  The ending felt a little abrupt, but other than that, this was a great read!

Family secrets, muddled memory mystery, how far would you go to escape?

Practically read it in one sitting, a really gripping story. I liked the writing and how the author gave the characters a lot of depth and unseen facets to their personalities and relationships.
Some twists were a little predictable but some of them were a total surprise!! Loved that

I kinda guessed things. Not entirely, but I was on the right track in some ways. I like that the book also handled some tough subjects. Enjoyable, but I don't know if I'd feel the need to read it again.
