I liked this! It includes a wide range of sensitive topics but I do think it’s on the “lighter” side for a thriller. It was a rollercoaster and definitely kept me guessing.

I was very thrown off by the one use of the phrase “on fleek” - it felt very out of place for both the main character’s generation and the author’s race…

i just love mary kubica’s writing and the details she adds to every character, every scene. i was about 70% through and was like “wouldn’t it be crazy if xyz happened?”, expecting i would be wrong. turns out i guessed part of the twist so that was slightly disappointing but still a solid thriller. also i loved the narrator for the audiobook!

Honestly the narrator annoyed me endlessly. I was ready to give up on the book. Then THE TWIST. Then it went back to annoying and predictable.

Some unnecessary character development in the beginning for characters who were never brought back up again later
