4.5

I would give this book 4.5 stars. For me, it didn’t really start to pick up until about page 80, but I wouldn’t say I was bored necessarily. I found the aspects of this book to complex in that it had me questioning my own judgement sometimes,

specifically when it came to Owen’s character. There were moments where I really liked him and felt sorry for him and then something would happen that would make me wonder why I ever felt that way toward him. I also found Saffyre’s development to be interesting and I almost wish we saw a little bit more of that “feral” unraveling of her because it felt like it started to get really dark with her and then we didn’t hear much more about it. That said, I am glad she got her happy ending and justice. Lastly, the thing that got me the most was the ending with Roan. He went from a cheating husband who was just kind of an asshole to someone who is sick and twisted in the worst kind of way. I wasn’t expecting that at all.

Overall, one of my favorites from Lisa Jewell.

I really enjoyed this book. Lots of unexpected twists and turns, it's nicely written and easy to consume. Particularly liked the little twist at the end. All in all I'd definitely recommend

It’s been a while since I last read a Lisa Jewell book but I’m slowly making my way through her backlog, in anticipation of the newest release: None of This is True.

Saffyre Maddox was ten when something truly unspeakable happened to her and she’s carried it with her ever since. The man assigned to heal her, failed her and now she watches and learns all there is to know about him. Similarly, Owen Pick hides in the shadows but for different reasons. He’s never been seen or cared for. When Saffyre goes missing, Owen is brought into the spotlight and not for good reasons. Everyone is watching him and accusing him of being responsible.

I really enjoyed the split perspectives and I think they complement thrillers very well. It’s frustrating but so rewarding being drip-fed information until it slowly comes together and leaves you wondering how you didn’t see it sooner. There were some points where I was confused but I let the story lead me and eventually, I saw how it all tied together. As with any Lisa Jewell book, once it picked up, it was impossible to put down and I just needed to desperately know how these characters and puzzle pieces fit together.

I will say that this particular book covers some very triggering topics and to be aware if you’re planning on reading this. At the same time, Lisa deals with it appropriately and sensitively and it never feels out of place.
