This book touches on classism, perfectionism, and misogyny intertwining it all into a deceitful narrative that will have you wondering who is telling the truth. Who killed Heather Shelby and why?
If you enjoy fast paced mysteries with dual timelines you’ll enjoy this book. The dual timelines were my favorite part. The now vs the past and how it all interconnected by the end left me with a great appreciation for the editing and structure it took to make this novel. Ashley Winstead has found a fan in me. I’m excited to read her other works.

Not a fan of the back & forth of timelines and then towards last couple of chapters, the changing of how the narration was done felt like a weird decision. I would've preferred multiple narrators instead... like, if you're going to do it towards the end of the book, might as well do it from the very beginning? It would've worked better for storytelling purposes.
I understand that the main character isn't meant to be likable but no one was likeable. So many characters and I couldn't choose one to root for.
I can though appreciate that the ending wasn't predictable.
