I'm not certain how I feel about this.

I think the actual premise was quite interesting and could have been very good but there was just a bit too much going on and it got a bit lost. 

It started well, the middle got unnecessarily convoluted and the ending while quite unexpected just wasn't that interesting. 

I also really didn't love the voice for Ben. It honestly was probably very well cast but I didn't like him - though I didn't like the character either so 🤷🏼‍♀️

Thank you NetGalley for the advanced copy of this book. I heard about this book in a webinar that I was watching for work and it came highly recommended. I love the mystery/thriller genre and I especially love when a book shocks me at the end. This book did that. What I didn't like about this title is that there is a reader note at the beginning and it said something along the lines of this book being rare in how the story doesn't flow as expected. I wish I didn't read that bit because I was thinking about "how is this story different" in the beginning and it took away some of the overall enjoyment of the book.

Wow...wasn't expecting the ending. Although bits and pieces of the story did bother me, like nuisances or little annoyances.
