i’ve read almost all of lisa jewell’s books and she has a weird obsession w middle aged women who don’t consider themselves “traditional beauties” and the other women in the story who are.. it’s strange and in every one of them

The mystery of the book was okay, and I did find myself flipping the pages wanting to find out what occurred and how the different storylines connected. But, most of the characters were incredibly annoying to me, doing and thinking things that made no sense at all given what was happening in the story. Also, lots of the dialogue was so incredibly awkward/stilted, to the point of being cringeworthy at many points throughout the book, that I kept being taken out of the story by it.

I devoured the book. It was incredible. It consisted of short, exciting chapters that made you want to keep reading. The story takes place in several places at the same time, so some chapters are written from a different perspective than others. In addition, there is an important story in the past which is also told in several chapters. Normally it bothers me when so much happens at the same time in a book and there is a jump in time, but in this book by Lisa Jewell it didn't bother me at all. The book is very mysterious from the beginning and I couldn't stop reading.

I listened to this whole audiobook and still don’t really understand how this story is connected 🤷🏼‍♀️
