This was an unremarkable book with two twists at the end that surprised me. A marriage in trouble. A friend request sent to a former crush from college. A snotty teenage daughter. An abusive husband. Put them all together…and you’ve got a book. That’s all I’ve got lol

This book is nothing like its description. It’s predictable and much more provocative than the book title, synopsis, or cover suggest. This is a weird romance novel with murder involved. Nothing more or less.
Content Warnings
Graphic: Domestic abuse, Sexual assault, Sexual violence, Violence
There is a lot of description of abuse of many forms from a character’s perspective as well as outside perspectives

Another great mystery from Samantha M. Bailey.
There were so many messed up relationships in this mystery. I loved the ending, I feel like everything ended exactly the way it should, I could not imagine Samantha writing that ending any differently.
I am very much looking forward to reading Samantha's future work. Her mysteries always keep me guessing.

It did take me a little bit to get into this book because of the cringy texting back and forth in the beginning but it all made sense in the end. I also thought I had the entire plot figured out in the first 10% of the book but I was wrong. This thriller is FULL of twists. Every time I thought I had it figured out Samatha Bailey threw in another curve ball. This was a fun quick read. Definitely worth picking up.

The plot of this book was interesting enough, and it was a quick read but the characters in this acted like AI posing as human. The way that they reacted to things and the way they talked to each other felt vaguely human but seemed incredibly unnatural. They also didn’t have any believable motivations, if any character motivations could be determined at all.
