I really enjoyed this book! The middle felt a little padded out. I think there was some moments that weren’t necessary to the plot of the story. I enjoyed the three different perspectives and the ending was great!

Yeesh. This was a stressful read. Things I liked: it was not immediately obvious who the villain was, and I kept suspecting every new person who was introduced and every action taken. Certainly not a predictable thriller as many turn out to be. It was an engaging read, knowing *something* bad was coming and waiting at the edge of my seat for it to happen.
Things I didn’t love: it was uncomfortable and icky at times, lots of moral dilemmas, and some of the bigger marital issues are never truly addressed or resolved. Did they just get glossed over because Dan finally wrote his book and got to keep up? How does Emmy feel about how things ended? Dan? And I’m queasy thinking of Jill out there
