Even with figuring out "who dun it," I still raced through this thriller.  I tried listening to this on audio, but with characters named Jenna and Joey, I couldn't follow it.  It was much easier to read in print.

I don’t read a lot but I want to read more and this is a great book for that! It jumps between different character’s POVs which was a little confusing at first but it makes sense as the characters start to develop; I ended up enjoying that. 

I like that the book focused on the story in the months leading up to the murder rather than the murder coming in the front of the book. It gives you time to know the characters personality and start to make guesses on who might have did it. Nice twist to the ending!

3.0

I finished this, but I'm not sure that I had to. Everything felt very formulaic and kind of unbelievable. It lacked that "what???" feeling that you hope to get from a thriller/mystery.

If pregnancy is not great for you right now, probably skip this one. It has a lot of complicated feelings about it.

At the beginning it may seem slow and predictable but as you go on you will start to question everything. Prepare to be mind blown near the end and hold back on jumping to conclusions because by the end you will have your mouth hanging open. LOVED IT.

very much murder mystery/stalkerish vibes so if you’re into that kinda thing this is you let book. The book is followed by the plot of trying to figure out who murder the older man living in one of the posh houses.
