3/3.5 , i feel this was very short and predictable with where it was going, definitely not twisty but still enjoyable quick read/listen. i loved the narration for this and i think story was also well written too.

Oh my gosh the audiobook of this was insanely good and immersive.
I ended this wanting to look up this authors back catalogue because I need to read/listen to more of her work.
Although the twist was very predictable in my opinion I was hooked just to see how it was revealed.

honestly a little predictable, but it was still a really good book! i kinda figured the twist out early on, especially with the foreshadowing. such a quick and easy book

still very torn on what to think about this book, honestly. i feel like it was very obvious what the ending would be from the start so i wasn't shocked at all...

still, i followed along with the little mystery that we're presented with and i have to say, this book does explores a VERY heavy topic with grace and human mistakes, which is something i can never be mad at.

Loved the narrator! Felt like listening to a movie.
Very fast paced. As usual, Lucinda Berry’s books leave you feeling the feelings. This one was hard to get through so check your trigger warnings!
