this was GOOD. 
Edge of my seat, didn't trust anyone, couldn't read fast enough 🤩
Great book if you want to get out of a reading slump. 

I read the Spanish translation which had quite a few mistakes and it seemed like they didn't proofread it before publishing it, but that's not the author's fault.

Lots of twists

I was suspect of the husband for the whole book but I was also suspect of the brother for the whole book. I’m just really really glad it didn’t turn out to be a “the woman was crazy all along” type of book

i actually really liked this. i try really hard to not put a ton of thought into guessing who or what the twist is in thrillers so i don’t ruin the experience for myself, and that worked in my favor for this one. there was a bunch of twists and turns with a mix of unreliability. some basic tropes but they were written really well. i enjoyed the writing quite a bit. i didn’t like some small parts and also the unreliability of the narrator and why she was unreliable. this book felt like if the writers of criminal minds and pretty little liars wrote a book. i overall enjoyed reading this!
