A book hasn’t made me cry in a long time, especially a thriller. This book reminded me of how I felt finishing “Pretty Girls”.

Although I had a few guesses about the twists, they still surprised me to be true and how they came together. I love multiple perspectives and it really made the book even better.

4.0

I found this book quite a slow burn, slower build up, a lot of character building then a fast ending. 

I think the depth of learning about the characters was actually quite good, although at some points I did feel a bit over some of the characters attitudes/behaviours. 

There are some complex relationships and feelings behind those relationships. While being plot driven it did feel like it was simultaneously character driven, learning about them

What a read - for such an intense topic, the writing was beautifully heartbreaking. For the first half, you question where the book is going since the FMC’s grief is all consuming, but then…THEN part two completely changes the feeling, tone and direction of the book. I couldn’t put the book down after I hit the 2nd half of the book. Once the pieces started to fall together, the ending was somewhat predictable but still worth it. Highly recommend you read the content warnings for this book though, there’s a lot to unpack.
