A fun and breezy thriller with a surprisingly nuanced portrayal of

gaslighting and emotional abuse.

I'm not a true crime podcast fan, so I can't say how accurate those segments were, but I enjoyed the mixed medium. 

My only (very petty) annoyance was how each traditional chapter started with Lucy's name when

there weren't actually any other narrators. I kept expecting to see a Savvy or Ben POV, but no.

Review: This was SO. MUCH. FUN. I've heard the audio is absolutely fantastic, although I read it via ebook - and honestly? It might even be worth a re-read via audio, that's how much I enjoyed it! I was genuinely surprised multiple times throughout the book, and I loved the way it played with how we view those around us, and how that interpretation can change depending on other information we're given. And Lucy's grandmother? LOVED HER. I will definitely be on the lookout for more thriller/mystery books from Amy Tintera!

I surprisingly really liked this. The dialogue was pretty natural & while I was pretty sure who the murderer was the story kept me second guessing myself.
