This book didn’t hook me until the very last chapter of the after section. I’m not sure exactly why it didn’t hook me, it just didn’t. It was a decent storyline though. I was also not really happy with the “plot twist” Like it was kinda dull

A good book. Some characters are hard to like as people at first. Not because they are badly written, no the characters are very well written, I mean that they have realistic flaws. I did like the mystery and the changing of points of view. It is a good book and hard to put down.

I kept turning pages with this one! It kept me guessing, too. Some characters I liked, others not so much. This book deals with things some might find triggering. Mental health, infidelity, sexual abuse, (both child and adult), parental abandonment and parental death. Just a slew of things because people are messy. We make bad choices and decisions. There are bad people who chose to hurt others. A few characters are either therapist or are/were in therapy. I thought it gave me a lot to think about and explore, (disclosure: I have experienced some of the issues in the story). I will be suggesting it to friends who enjoy psychology and thrillers.
