What can I say? This book was so enticing and I simply couldn’t put it down! 
This is the first book that I have read where I haven’t guessed the ending. I’ve been yearning for a boon that isn’t predictable. 

I somewhat knew that the husband was bad news from the start. The way he was so demanding about Laura cooking and just his personality was off putting. But when the character Mia was evolved, just wow.

This book is very clever. When you have fully read it, it makes you think back to what you’ve already read. I found myself gasping a lot at the end of it, going “omg of course, that makes so much sense!!” 
Would totally recommend! 👏
