I think this is my first 5 star rating in a very very long time. I devoured this. And it was my first ever audiobook listen!! This book took me by surprise. I knew nothing about it and only borrowed it because it was available to borrow instantly. I loved this one! It started out confusing but then quickly became very intriguing and interesting. The style of writing was great!! The characters were amazing and all likeable even though they were glaringly human. Loved this book and while I may reduce it to 4.75, it was brilliant and easy but also dark. Great lessons in there and very creative.

G O O D . 
I was hooked, all I kept thinking about was coming back to read this amazing book. 
It's so real. Too real. 
Brought up a lot of emotions, anger, frustration, empathy. 
I could sadly relate to too many aspects of the book. 
The inner monologue - self blaming, denial, comparison and so much more, is too accurate to people who suffer a relationship with narcissistic and manipulative people. 
The plot itself was also very gripping and enthralling. 
I thought about so many different twists, but not this one. 
Amazing, amazing book.

Although the book had a bit of a slow start, it more than made up for it with its interesting plot and characters. I love the female focus, and it was reminiscent of the Girl on the Train.
 I think the buildup was great as well as the Aussie references throughout. I've never read a book that has made me laugh audibly and recoil in fear between a few pages.  It's definitely worth the read but HUGE trigger warning for sufferers of domestic abuse or assault.
