This book had so many twists, and they were so well executed. I didn't know how it was going to end until the final chapters. Also, definitely recommend the audiobook for some delightful Aussie accents.

The ~reveal ~ was somewhat underwhelming/predictable, but the paradigm shift that resulted from the "big twist" was incredible. 

I would have liked more insight into the two main women and their motivations, etc., and I am struggling with how to view the LGBTQIA+ representation and the general attitude towards this topic within the book. 

Overall this is a solid thriller that kept me invested and even provided some spine tingles as I listened in the late-night dark.
