This took me a while to get into. However, the last hundred or so pages were really fast. I only sensed the twist right as it was happening and even then I didn’t see all of it coming. Overall I liked it but I wasn’t as knocked out as everyone else seems to be.

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”.

This one had some twists I didn't see, and a big one that I guessed about halfway through. It was still a wild, and enjoyable ride! Because life is busy, it took me a couple days to read the first 74 pages, then I read the rest of it in one sitting last night. I could not put it down! The characters weren't actually relatable (because I'm not crazy rich and I don't have a ton of free time or the ability to tell my staff to do my work for me when I don't feel like going to work). But, they were flawed and felt realistic to me. Her husband, Derek, and her best friend, Sal, were less likable to the than Marin, the main character. But, I still wanted good things to happen to them. The support group Marin was a part of was a great addition - it added another layer to the story.

Obviously, this book needs a trigger warning for child abduction. There's also infidelity and some not particularly graphic, but still there, sex scenes.

Overall, this was a great thriller and I definitely recommend it.

This book was hard to read at first due to the content so I skimmed a bunch of the initial chapters. By the end I was hooked! I knew there was a twist coming so of course, k was looking for it and figured out at least part of it before it was revealed-but I did not figure out all of the mysteries and connections ahead of time.
