This book was so good!! It took me a little while to grasp the different characters/timelines but once it all came together, I could not put it down. I loved this book and want a sequel!!

Didn’t enjoy this one as much as Jewell’s previous work, None of this is True, which was a little more fun on audio due to the nature of the plot.

I found the different timelines more confusing than they needed to be, and the ending wasn’t particularly satisfying (neither the initial or the epilogue). It’s not a book I’ll think about much or come back to.
