Giving it two stars for the commentary on the childhood trauma, abuse and its impact in adulthood. That was very realistic. Other than that, horrible thriller. I am sorry, this was not it.

The plot twists kept moving the book along and I enjoyed the format of writing. However, the characters got increasingly unlikable which made it hard to balance the excitement of the twists.
