This was my first time ever reading one of Megan Goldins books! Wow!!! It was a roller coaster of emotions! It was a slow read at first, but quickly picked up pace. Would definitely recommend if you love a good whodunnit, but beware of triggers!

Audiobook. This was really good! The two timelines worked really well together although the content was hard to get through - just not for the faint of heart (check content warnings and steer clear if needed). Highly recommend on audio for the podcast aspect.

i really enjoyed this book. overall, i thought it was very well written, paced, and just the right length. 
left very good breadcrumbs throughout the read that really all came together with the big reveal. ending felt very realistic. would recommend.
