Really enjoyed this book. There were so many twists and turns and it's left me questioning everything I just read and, funnily enough, what bits were true!

The book deals with a few traumatic events. I had a hard time connecting to Alix’s character. The book started off fast paced but started to drag towards the end. 

I found the ending interesting and the doubt the author added

say this book pulled me out of another reading slump because I consumed it in one sitting. The audiobook was great - I love a podcast element done well. 

Dark. Twisted family (poor Erin). Glad we had Alix as a voice of reason, as she was the only one disturbed by Walter the pedophile. Like, I’m sorry Josie’s mom brought this man around her child and blames her for it?? Nothing could be said to redeem either of them
