This was stressful as hell (tw: infertility and miscarriage, sexual assault) but I enjoyed it too. Told from the POV of a woman in a coma, it flips back and forth in time to the days leading up to a car accident and a traumatic event (think SWF) when she and her best friend were young. 

I can't wait for the next one. I think it especially helps that Stephanie Racine reads her audiobooks.

4.0

Very solid and creepy thriller. The whole setting made me feel very anxious and heavy. I was trying to guess the outcome of the book the whole time.
