I really liked this book because I was always kept guessing on what was happening. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because the ending left me with more questions, and didn’t wrap up the mystery, which I hate!!!! I know it’s supposed to leave you hanging on purpose but UGH!!!

This was possibly one of the most ridiculous thrillers I’ve read - everything you could throw into it was in it: alcoholism, child abuse, amorality, paranoia, death of child, death of parents, kidnapping, theft, divorce, predation, serial rape, cyber crimes, impersonation, coma, gaslighting, infidelity, catfishing, revenge, false arrests, domestic violence, pedophilia, murder, revenge, sociopathy, suicide, malpractice, and the list goes on and on.

Any trigger that could’ve been dreamt up was in the story one way or another. After a while, it started getting funny, and I actually started enjoying the stupidity of it all. This might be my one and only Mary Kubica read.

I sped through this book and it succeeded in having plot twists that were both shocking and made sense. I

equally struggle with and enjoy an unreliable narrator plot, and I think this did it really well. I genuinely didn't see it coming.

I do kind of feel like some details of the story and breadcrumbs didn't actually end up going anywhere, but I think that's sort of just to keep you guessing. I don't have much bad to say about this, but it just didn't give me that 5 star feeling :/

This was fine, honestly the beginning was so slow and boring and I felt like the character made since stupid decisions and actions. Like I get it, but at the same time no. Also I didn’t see the big twist coming, but I feel like you kind of couldn’t? Maybe it’s because I was listening to the audiobook, but it all felt like the same timeline, which is the point, but still. Also the daughter was so annoying to be honest. I feel like there was too many plots happening because who would care about the rapist, which wasn’t a shock for me. As for the ending with Ben, like idk that just felt dumb because what would his motives be for going along with both these women’s  lies etc. anyways, this isn’t  worst of her books I’ve read, but it’s certainly not the best. Also the nursing stuff like I don’t know I don’t think you would be hired back to be honest.
