Another addictive thriller from Queen Lisa Jewell! This was super fast-paced and I loved the multiple perspectives we got to read from, especially Joey's forbidden crush on her neighbour.

I didn't see the ending coming at all and I loved the final twist! One of the reveals was a tiny bit questionable

Spoiler

(the reveal that the creepy kid had autism all along, I feel like it could come across as a bit insensitive or under-developed to bring this into it)

so I wasn't sure how I felt about that, but other than that I had a lot of fun with this one.

I just want to read another Lisa Jewell that gripped me the way The Family Upstairs or Then She Was Gone did
