While reading this book, I couldn't figure out who the crazy was. I finally decided it must be me because of how quickly things kept changing! I wasn't completely surprised by the ending as I was starting to have inklings about halfway through but there were a few nuggets that still caught me off guard. I enjoyed this book and it will probably be one I think about for quite some time. I read this on the recommendation of my sister and I'm so glad I borrowed it on the Libby app from my local library!

On one hand, it was a super engaging and suspenseful mystery and psychological thriller that made me question absolutely everything I thought I knew. I had no idea what was actually true half the time. I liked the main character and really, really felt for her.
On the other, though, this book is a terrible representation of polyamory, mental illness, and domestic violence — especially in the second half. If you are particularly sensitive about this, don’t read it. It was particularly jarring (and outright inaccurate) when it came to psychosis. I thought the ending, while indeed as shocking as it was meant to be, was unnecessary and didn’t make much sense. If it wasn’t for these factors, I would’ve rated it much higher because it was quite interesting otherwise.
