This was fine! Not really my cup of tea because I don't love podcasts. Didn't love the whole age gap/grooming bit. I did however like the changing of narrators so I could understand when it was on podcast vs a real scene.

Interested to see if I like Listen for the Lie better! Will be reading that for my teacher book club this month.

A total page-turner! Simultaneously horrifying and engrossing. Josie was awful, but I devoured the book to see what would happen or be revealed next.
