I did not see that ending coming. My brain went to a whole other place. I wish the ending wasn't as quick. I felt we had such a huge build up then just bam.

The style of writing wasn’t my favorite. And the story did seem to drag on a while with some pointless back and forth (misdirection I’m assuming). The end was a funky twist. The scene with the OB though could have been left out. It’s important info for people to know, but Meredith not stepping in until way late, not educating Shelly in their meeting before, and just… yeah. I have some issues with that entire scene.

Too many characters.
Too much time-jumping without clarification.
Too much fluffy details that aren't pertinent to the story at all.

Started out strong, but too hard to follow.

Listened as an audiobook. Really enjoyed the use of multiple voice actors. I didn’t try to predict the endings at all, and was definitely surprised by the twists! I found a couple of the female characters annoying at times, which is why it’s not a full 5.
