3.0

While I did somewhat enjoy this book, there were some very heavy aspects to it. A woman's secret hatred and jealousy of her children, her addiction to a man and to sex, the suspicions of her killing her children. I love a good thriller but this one had way too much explicit sexual material in it for my taste. I think the story line was good and very creative, but the profanity and sexual content kinda ruined it for me.

🇳🇱: Dit boek was een ander soort thriller dan verwacht. In het begin vond ik hem erg oppervlakkig. Ik had niet het idee dat ik een thriller las. Later werd dit duidelijker. Het is niet echt een thriller vol gebeurtenissen, maar vooral de vibe is spannend. Je zit de hele tijd te wachten op actie die uitgesteld wordt. Ik had de hele tijd al het idee wat het plot zou zijn, maar het einde had ik zeker niet verwacht.  Voordat je in dit boek begint zou ik wel de trigger warnings lezen, want die kunnen vrij heftig zijn!

🇬🇧: 
    This book was a different kind of thriller than expected. At first I thought he was very superficial. I didn't feel like I was reading a thriller. This became clearer later. It is not really a thriller full of events, but the vibe is especially exciting. You spend the whole time waiting for action to be postponed. I had an idea all along what the plot would be, but I certainly didn't expect the ending. Before you start this book, I would read the trigger warnings, because they can be quite intense!

Such a wild ride. I'm not even sure how to describe this one without giving anything away. Many people say that the sex scenes weren't warranted or not necessary to the story. But skipping the sex scenes mean that you are missing lots of characterization. #teammanuscript
