The book reminded me of all the best books by Liane Moriarty where things are pieced together out of order. There were also parts that reminded me of Caroline Kepnes' You, where you're in the head of someone who definitely isn't stable, and you don't know if you like them or not. I absolutely couldn't put the book down.

I think if you've ever experienced rape or been in any type of abusive relationship, Rachel's storyline may be hard to follow. There was one chapter in particular that I found tough to get through becauseksmo's review against another edition

I was also just very surprised at the complete lack of accountability. I thought the same at the end of the first book, and thought that surely things would come to a head in this sequel, but everyone just got away with everything and went and had a family garden party. And Henry's adoption of other people's entire identities is treated as an 'Oh what is he like' character quirk, rather than completely insane.
I was quite invested in Rachel as a character,
All of the endings and resolutions just feel rushed and too easy to me, so I finished both books kind of annoyed and disappointed.
