I wasn’t at all sure what I thought about it for most of the book, and I didn’t like the total lack of context - excepting the back cover blurb, which I suppose most people would read.

The finish seemed predictable, but I liked it anyway.

Fascinating story told through different voices and with those totally different perspectives. It all weaves together so satisfyingly.

Rushed to pick this up after Todd Haynes announced that he is adapting the book for HBO, and was right to do so because I enjoyed it immensely! I loved how each of the narratives in Trust was distinct yet layered together so nicely with the others.
