I listened to this as an audiobook, and it was very engaging and well performed. I liked the character arc of Owen . Saffyre was harder to understand with her lack of communication and hiding out.

It was okay. A bit slow for me and a lot of it seemed a bit far fetched. Like I'm supposed to believe that they live in a big metro, big enough to have a tube station, yet the same half-dozen characters continually run into each other at all hours? Meh.

I’m always a fan of Jewell. She writes mysteries that are more just… suspenseful. I kept trying to guess what had happened and I needed to know. But this one also dealt with a lot
of sexual assault. Not necessarily super graphic. But very much a main part of the plot.

Lisa Jewell has always been an odd writer. I never know what genre to place her books in. The storylines always seem to have me say wth did I read? Confused if I like it or not. However, I keep listening to her audiobooks. So there’s that. I haven’t listened or read all of her books yet. So far, this novel seems to be the tamest when it comes to trauma and emotional relationships. There is sexual content.

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.
