This book kept me interested the whole time. I loved reading from both sisters perspectives and then the twist at the end was (slightly) shocking.

Started slow but rapidly became hard to put down. One of those unreliable narrator books. Pretty twisted by the end.
Everything was a set up by Rose. “Accidentally” leaving prenatal pills out for Fern to find so Fern would come up with the idea of having the baby for Rose. Even calling Fern 4 days after leaving for a “trip,” asking how her dog was and claiming that she and Fern had a long discussion about Fern watching the dog.
Rose had been manipulating Fern since childhood.
Crazy.

Quick and easy domestic thriller. Plot was very relatable in some areas and farfetched in others but I liked the balance. Even though the doubt about Rose is hinted at early on, I enjoyed the slow burn reveal and Fern coming to the realizations as her character grows. Fern and Wally need to be protected at all costs!

Def an easy read (good for reading slumps), pretty good cliff hangers, and the plot twist at the end was interesting! I wouldn’t say it’s an “unreliable character” type of book, but it does have a lot of “ok wait then who did it???????” moments. The main character, Fern, is neuro spicy, which I really appreciated bc i haven’t found a lot of thriller books whose main characters are on the spectrum. The book has it all: a likeable and sometimes misunderstood character you’re rooting for even when you don’t know if she’s guilty, betrayal, familial conflicts, narcissism, death, AND romance. 4/5 stars for me

This book was seriously SO GOOD. I got so invested in the characters and everything else with it. The writing was so well written and I love that it was told from two different people but with different perspectives and I did NOT see the twist the book was going to take. WHAT.A.RIDE.

- Plot- or character-driven? Plot
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated

What a great book! I absolutely love the characters Wally and Fern! 2 of the most beloved characters I have encountered in a long line of reading!! The ending twist is worth the wait! Did not see that one coming.....
