This book was actually really good. There were a couple of twists, I saw a few of them coming, but the end one got me good. I did not expect that ending at all. It was a wild ride and I loved having it come from the perspective of Anna, she seemed a tad unreliable because of the pills and the alcohol but it made it super interesting.

2.0

 First time reading a “psychological thriller”. I liked the idea a nosy neighbor POV. The audiobook narrator did a good job making the reader feel like Anna was descending into madness. The book could’ve benefited from being at least 100-150 shorter.

Very underwhelming and honestly, there is too much alcohol and drugs.

Oh my gosh. I loved this book from the second I opened it to the very last page. I keep typing stuff and deleting it, because it will probably spoil the book. There is just so much I can say about this book. I was in such a huge reading slump, but this brought me out of it. I went in completely blind, as I do most of the time. I highly suggest doing that. As always, if you have triggers, you should check them before going in blind. This was just a great thriller. I found myself trying to solve a mystery. I felt compassion when necessary. The writing is 🤌🏻. You feel what you're supposed to feel. You gasp at all the right places. Maybe even hold a breath you didn't realize you were holding. 😂 What more can I say? Read it. 

⭐️ wasted my time
⭐️⭐️ not terrible but not great
⭐️⭐️⭐️ good, but wouldn't read again.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ really liked it and recommend it!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ absolutely loved it! Move it up on your TBR
