I literally hated every single person in this book even though the main character grew on me after a while 🧍🏻 All in all it kept me hooked and I wanted to know what happens next but it wasn't a page turner the way some other thrillers are. I'm not sure  how I felt about the ending (don't worry I won't spoil anything!) because I was torn between finding it surprising and finding it predictable at the same time so I'm not quite sure how I feel about it yet. Definitely not a mindblowing thriller but still worth the read!

A really great mystery book! It met all my expectations and the story came together very satisfyingly at the end. The complex changes in timelines and characters really let you get the most of the story, and led to a very unexpected but believable ending. The writing style is nice as well, and my only criticism is that it wasn’t super captivating in the first hundred pages or so, but the rest of the book made it all worth it!

I just love a good domestic psych thriller but this was 200 pages too long. Really enjoyed the final act it got super intense and I can see why it’s one of the “classic” psych thrillers but maybe my expectations were a bit too high.

I don't think anyone in this book should be allowed to get married.
