Male voices of the audiobook weren’t great and the third person narrative was strange since the story was all from Abigail’s point of view. Pretty predictable storyline but relatively fast paced, would recommend reading in one go. Overall felt like an unfinished first draft, lots of potential but nothing was fully connected  and fleshed out.

I love Swanson’s writing, but the pacing of the book was a bit weird.
I found it hard to get into and keep interested. 
I liked the ideas.

I went into this one blind having heard a few people say they really enjoyed it. Unfortunately, this ended up not being my kind of thriller. It was very predictable and surface level. At one point maybe around the 70% mark I thought for a minute it was going to go in a different direction than what I’d expected all along, but nope, it got right back on the predictable path it was following. The characters felt flat, and I found many aspects to be unbelievable. The writing was very digestible and the story was easy to follow, and the plot moved quickly, but this is one I’ll forget very soon.
