This was a very good book! I loved the way the chapters were written.
I give it a 4 only because of how it ended.
I don’t know if I would’ve been as calm as charlotte at the end of this… or forgiving.
I kind of a expected a more dramatic way to end it.
Overall I would recommend it!

Charlotte has everything. Until her brother's new girlfriend takes her daughter away from her.
This is categorized as a thriller, but thrilled I was not. I did not connect at all with this. None of tbe characters were likable, and it was pretty boring. Nothing much happened until the last 10 pages, the ending is very rushed and unsatisfying, and there were many loose ends.

I would have enjoyed this more if not for the ending!
The story is about Charlotte, her husband, Eli, daughter Daisy, and brother Rocco. Rocco has a history of bad relationships, so when Rocco brings Ruth home, Charlotte and family are wary. As the novel goes on, you discover that Ruth is a liar. Plus she has kidnapped Daisy. However, she knows some truths about Charlotte that Charlotte doesn’t want told.
The ending was too abrupt, and a bit unbelievable.

Slow start but started to pick up towards the middle. I was disappointed by an ending that felt very rushed.
