I will say at the 65% mark I was wondering what the hell this book was supposed to be about 😂 thinking “um HELLO, Sebastian?!” 
I went in blind which I like doing for any book that’s supposed to be a thriller or suspense. I wouldn’t say this is either of those two categories. 
But! I did however not guess the plot twist we finally received 😁😂 that’s always a great feeling. 
There’s so much to talk about this book but it’s hard without spoilers. 
The audio wasn’t bad! It was enjoyable and easy to listen to. 
Trigger warnings 
Suicide attempt, suicide, suicidal thoughts, drug and alcohol use, missing/abducted children. I wouldn’t say these things are graphic but have some details when being talked about.

This was a thoroughly engaging thriller that touched on ridiculous a few times but not so much that it made me roll my eyes... too much. Instead, I had a great time reading it. I very much liked the story told from different perspectives.
