It was really good, but I wouldn’t recommend it, at least not without a full list of trigger warnings😅

The audiobook though 👏🏻so good👏🏻 one of the best audiobooks I’ve ever listened to! The voice actors gave it there all and really sold me the story, so much so that it felt real

The fact that the ending left me all confused at what was actually true is why i gave a 4.5 stars rating. I'll probably think about this book for days ahead

A trippy read!  I actually really loved the ending, though I can see why others do not. Lisa Jewell does a great job painting a picture of the lives of the two women, Alix and Josie - well, at least as they perceive their lives.  Reading about their perspectives made me realize just how difficult it can be to be grateful for what we have and to consider others' backgrounds.  We all make assumptions, it's a natural and necessary social skill, and this book explores how those assumptions can be used against us.
