I found it too over written. Instead of it being a "only I can make her talk" sorta story it ended up being pint fed with infidelity.

That being the entire plot eventually and the twists and so didn't spark any interest in me. Perhaps I just don't care for stories where cheating makes shit go around.

I'm not typically one to get too caught up in social media hype over specific books, as I tend to just pick something based on whether or not it sounds good. But after reading The Fury recently and loving it, I jumped at the chance to grab this one when it became available at my local library. I'm really glad I did, and it's safe to say this book absolutely deserves all the hype it's gotten. The pace was a bit slow, but that actually added to the suspense and I found I didn't mind. I never saw the twist at the end coming until just before it was revealed, and I absolutely loved the ending. I look forward to reading more by this author in the near future!
