This book is a well written thriller that makes you doubt every character. Although it felt slow to start, I found myself getting into it closer to the halfway point. 

There were moments that I didn’t understand the MC’s thought process . But after all, she was well into her first pregnancy. So I’ll give her the benefit of the doubt.

I would have rated this much higher at the beginning. I thought it was going to be 4 or 5 stars but it got quite repetitive and the reasons for the main character’s actions became more and more unbelievable, especially for a pregnant woman. Enjoyed the book as an easy read and a page turner but I don’t think it’s going to stick in my mind.

I can't lie, I thought I figured it out, and I was wrong.  So that's a plus.  But this book was so repetitive.  I lost track of the number of times "it was too much" and Hannah "simply could not do it".  Just constant throughout the book.
