This is the second book I read by Sally Hepworth and probably the last. I thought I would give her another go after being slightly disappointed by her book, "The Mother-In-Law". This one was even worse.

The setup for the plot was intriguing, but it ended up being trite and predictable. Basically, instead of having carefully curated twists, the author simply has her characters tell you exactly who the bad person is and why they're bad. They quite literally spell it out. There was no mystery.

I guess I can now say that I'm just not a fan of this author.

The ableism is specifically ableist against autistic people and people with a mental illness.
