This book is a page-turning, twisty thriller - I had a lot of ideas about what was going to happen, some of which were right, and some weren't, but I was interested all the way - very gripping and a fast read. My main issue was the characters, who weren't terribly likeable, and the ending, which I found unsatisfying, but won't say more of for fear of spoilers. Still, if you like a thriller, you'll enjoy.

MAN let me tell you this book i was half SLOW DOWN and half ohGooOD HURRY UP! (although I rated it as slow paced only because I felt the former feelings toward the end)
The twist, specifically when Florence killed Greta and admitted she pushed Helen off ON PURPOSE shocked me honestly. Florence always seemed crazy especially since she started stalking Simon and his children and INGRID (oh god ingrid).
All in all, it was a good book. Despite Florence being extremely unlikeable, I ended up kind of rooting for her. I felt like if the opposite of the ending happened I would have thrown the book across the room so in a way, the end was satisfying for me.
gone girl vibes definitely
