    I enjoyed this book thoroughly. Though the characters weren’t likable, they weren’t annoying or grating, they were simply morally grey, and assholes. The final twist was perfect and made the book better. I liked how she sectioned the book and split perspectives at just the right point.

    Overall, a great thriller that didn’t go where I thought it would. I just wish it hadn’t been quite so gross in parts.

Narrator Rating: 5.0 stars

     The narrators did an amazing job; their voices felt like they fit how the characters would sound perfectly.

Fast paced! Unpredictable! Twisty! Suspenseful! All the adjectives! Truly a wild ride. My 4th McFadden book and have yet to be disappointed! And yes some of it is unrealistic—who cares? It’s fiction!  It was entertaining! This was exactly what  I needed to read at the moment. 

4 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
