As domestic thrillers go it’s not a bad one. The book is well written and the multiple points of view keep it interesting. However, there were no major twists or shocks and because of that I couldn’t rate it higher and would neither recommend the book nor steer people away from reading it .

I literally hated every single person in this book even though the main character grew on me after a while 🧍🏻 All in all it kept me hooked and I wanted to know what happens next but it wasn't a page turner the way some other thrillers are. I'm not sure  how I felt about the ending (don't worry I won't spoil anything!) because I was torn between finding it surprising and finding it predictable at the same time so I'm not quite sure how I feel about it yet. Definitely not a mindblowing thriller but still worth the read!
