This book only got 4 stars from me because it was actually very difficult to read at times. I found the story very disturbing at times and was crying at the very end because of how sad it was! However, it did keep my interest and I enjoy thrillers and true crime. Something about this one was not as entertaining to me though. Just sad and horrible to think about.

This was my first Lisa Jewell novel, and it definitely won't be my last. I absolutely devoured this book! The storyline was easy to follow, character development on point, and the twists just kept coming. I only predicted one part, but only shortly before the reveal. I appreciate that by the end, all my questions had been answered. This is exactly what I look for in a mystery/thriller! I've had this on my TBR list for a few years now, and I'm SO happy that I chose to finally read it! 

I only give 5 stars to books that I know I want to read again someday. Unfortunately, with mystery/thriller books, the excitement factor won't be there the second time around, so I gave it a very solid 4.75!

Is this a thriller? 
I’m an easily scared person and I was not thrilled at all. 
There was absolutely no suspense and just nothing going on 
What the heck

This was an interesting story, and I didn't predict a part of the climax.  I definitely thought the storytelling was stronger in the The Family Upstairs series, but this one was fine. The whole

thing was weird though and kind of felt like a detail added later to increase ~weirdness~.
