It isn't just about the mystery or the twists. Those are fun, but this is a beautifully written, heart wrenching, introspective look at what really matters and how much we miss in the small moments.

The descriptions are so incredibly vivid. Jen, a chubby middle age mom, is a badass. The details- her balance of mom and work- of struggling and middle class- is so realistically portrayed.

Worked great as an audiobook. Narrator was perfect.

It better towards the end. I quite liked all the twists and turns. Slow at parts and kind of bleh but all in all ended up pretty good.

This book has a really cool premise and is perfect if you’re craving a popcorn thriller (aka mindless entertainment) like I was. The narrator really spells everything out (a personal pet peeve with thrillers—trust the reader to understand the connections/plot points/etc) and it lags a bit at certain parts. Still, it was a book I looked forward to picking up each evening and enjoyed reading.

DID NOT FINISH: 72%

The further the book got the more back in time it went and was harder to keep up with it. Lost interest.
