This is my least favourite book from Megan Miranda.  I really didn’t like this story nor was intrigued by it.

  • Tropes/themes:
    • Transcripts, emails, journal articles, etc. 
    • Psychological trauma
    • Unreliable narrator
    • Childhood trauma
    • Moral ambiguity
  • Suspenseful but predictable. 
  • Super slow start. 
  • I had almost no interest in this plot and didn’t connect to the characters (I honestly couldn’t tell you who half of them were) so it felt like it dragged on. 
  • It was kind of a snooze which also made me miss important details.
  • Relieved to be finished with it. 
  • Content warnings:
    • Child abuse
    • Murder/death
    • Emotional abuse
    • Stalking
    • Missing child
    • Drug abuse
    • Confinement

I genuinely liked this story. I didn’t care too much for the ending tho so that’s why 4 stars. I don’t know it wasn’t a satisfying end to me but I still enjoyed the story and characters.
