I really enjoyed this book!

It’s a different kind of thriller - rather than being the fast paced currently happening thriller, it’s a I don’t know what happened because I have memory loss kind of thriller. So it’s full of little details slowing being revealed to piece together what happened 20-odd years earlier.

I thought I knew what was happening when I started but as more and more details were revealed, I was second guessing myself.

I loved the difference in POVs - present day Lily, present day Alice and what actually happened in 1993. It didn’t seem like they were connected but it slowly became more obvious.

I love Lisa Jewell’s books anyway but I enjoyed this nonetheless.
