This book though...what a nail biting, griping experience. Both Bram and Fi are difficult characters to love but that's sort of the point. The tension throughout the book kept me wholly unable to stop reading. I won't go into spoilers but there are plenty of new twists and turns to keep you wondering without the plot feeling stale. It's a wonderful domestic thriller. I highly recommend putting it on your to read list and I think it'll make a great book club read because there's so much to discuss.

Although it took me forever to finish. I thoroughly enjoyed this one.

Interesting premise, decent book, it felt tragic all around.

This book kept me guessing all the way through. I was a bit disappointed with the ending - it seemed to finish rather abruptly but it allows the reader to make up their own mind what happens next. Very well written and I liked the style skipping from Bram to Fi - past and present throughout the book.
