Another solid Lisa Jewell novel with characters who have realistically complex inner lives and personal relationships. This isn't one of her best books though. The whole Owen character and plot was a bit strange. I'm not really sure about her handling of incel culture. But still, well written and engaging as usual.

I always enjoy a book with multiple perspectives and the progression of the plot was good. The resolution feels a little anticlimactic.

once Roan was shown to be having an affair it was suspicious and then we find out about Harrison and it’s obvious it was going to be a combination

The last chapter had a little shock but other than that I didn’t find it a real page turner with any twists and turns but I also read a lot of crime genre books.

Not as good as the family upstairs, but was still a fun fast paced mystery/ Family Drama. I predominantly listened to this as an audiobook. I would say that the book also did a good job of highlighting Incel culture and the realities of it, It was clearly well researched.

I did not really enjoy this book. I didn't hate it, it was actually well written. But the story fell flat for me. I never connected to it, I kept waiting for something, anything, to happen. It was a quick read, but I was glad when it was over so that I could move on.

Please note that there are a TON of trigger warnings you might need to look up.
