Highly recommend the audiobook for this one! This was my first Lisa Jewell novel and definitely won’t be my last. The story was twisty, suspenseful, and kept me constantly trying to piece things together—and honestly, I still am. It’s written so well, and I have a feeling I’ll be thinking about it for a long time.

The Lolita-esque unreliable narrator plot is not subtle. There is very little complexity in the characters and their development. But this is a tense, can’t-put-down, type of read where you want to know who is telling the truth and waiting for the big reveal which is constantly teased through the device of the Netflix show transcript. A proper crescendo never truly occur. There are too many obvious red herrings for it to be a true thriller. It’s fun though. I wouldn’t read it again.
