So, this one is hard to review. On one hand, it was a really slow going pace of unhappenings and on the other (which is to say the last 20% or so...) really gripped me and couldn't put down.

I liked how the writing was leaning into the therapist being the one to be under the scope so to speak. Her career has her prying into the lives of her clients in order to help them. When the tables are turned and the prying is happening TO her the feelings begin to shift.

Overall, the ending was a bit shocking though it was the very last second we found out. I would have liked to know a tiny bit more beyond our ending.

Thank you to Netgalley and Quercus books for supplying me an ARC.

Es un libro bastante regular, me es muy del estilo de la chica del tren, o de an anonymus girl, esa forma de narrar tan detallista e intrascendente que me es exasperante. Parece mucho al YA, pero más seco y anodino.
A pesar de ello, te engancha y es ligero. Sin duda un thriller que no va a pasar a más en mi mente, pero está bueno para leer en unas tardes.
