Lisa Jewell, once more does it again. The twists and turns of this book made it a page turner from the very beginning

This one was a very average thriller. There was nothing wrong with it, but it wasn't spectacular. It did keep me engaged and I didn't see the twist coming but it wasn't like I was truly glued to the book. I think it's a good read for those who love thrillers in general but if you're seeking out a unique thriller, I would pass on this one.

Favorite Quotes: 
"She was not being kind. She was being desperate and scared."

I’m sorry but literally nothing happened. Like everything was so obvious. I’m he characters had like no personality. One POV was literally so unnecessary. I just did not emoji this at all. I was beyond bored. That being said I do like the topics and discussions about relevant and serious topics.

I was really excited to read this book because I really enjoyed the first book I read from Lisa Jewell. The different narrators and the plot itself was really interesting but unfortunately the ending was really lacklustre and for that, I could only give it 2 stars.
I’m definitely still interested to read some more of her books as I still have high hopes!
