Perfect if you loved Broadchurch.

So much "head talk." Re-pet-a-tive! You can just read the police chapters and get almost all the story and save yourself the time and frustration of all her self-pity and neuroses.

This was one of the oldest books on my Kindle and TBR, and it has a rubbish cover, so I didn't expect much from it but I was surprisingly good!

The writing was so compulsively readable that I just couldn't stop reading. It could be a storyline in a soap it was that ridiculous but good!

I'll be looking for more from this author after this little hidden gem!

I couldn't put it down, yet at the same time I kept yelling the woman was being SOOO dumb!!!! If it wasn't for that I would have given it a 5. A bit depressing to think someone someone is so worried about their relationship they hide so much from him

I am nearly done this book and I cannot stand a single character in it, they are all bloody annoying and just idiots. ugh, it is a bit of a job actually listening to this book on Audible if I'm honest. everyone in it makes me angry and just annoyed at their behaviour.

An easy and enjoyable read which I would rate 3.25/ 3.5 stars out of 5. Thoroughly enjoyed this despite some issues with the story being predictable, repetitive and a bit of a drag at at times and Callie (the protagonist) continuously making bad decisions. I found it quite frustrating and sad how almost everyone always seemed to be against her without any real valid reason. I guessed the twist at the end but nonetheless it was an overall fun read. It was a welcomed change from the scarier thrillers I tend to gravitate towards and I learned a lot about the effects of living with mental illness too.

This book was really good! It's a very exciting psychological thriller, that kept me captivated. It was unnerving, but bearable. Sometimes I really got irritated with the main character. Just when I thought it wasn't possible for her to sink lower into her web of lies, she continued to make bad choices. But that's just it: One wrong step, and you might fall into a hole you'll never get out of.

This character had extreme low self esteem ( maybe even bipolar) and she was way to reckless. It was nice the way it turned out but I didn’t care to much for this book. I needed more drama less stupidity.
