Oh boy. I did not see that coming. One of the better thriller/murder mysteries I’ve read in awhile. The twist was WILD although in hindsight I shouldn’t have been too shocked.

I finished this book fairly quickly because I just wanted to be done with it. It’s probably one of the worst books I’ve ever read. So many people loved it and several people recommended it to me but it took maybe 2 chapters before I wanted to google the ending and be done with it. The husband and wife are unreliable narrators and it was pretty easy to figure out what was going on. There were no likable characters and the husband’s entitlement was exhausting. I hated listening to his parts. The final chapter tried so hard to be Gone Girl but failed miserably. Sarah is no Amy. Not even close. This story of betrayal and revenge goes too far and is too unbelievable for it to be any good. The part that really got me was identifying the murder victim was pregnant and, at 4 weeks along, they extracted DNA from the fetus to determine its paternity. That killed the book for me. I wish I hadn’t read it and I’m disappointed I spent a week on it.
