The first half of this was so boring I almost gave up—it was only my laziness in avoiding finding a new book that kept me reading it and the last half is waaaaaay better.

I almost didn't finish because there were some MAJOR eating disorder triggers, but I'm glad that I pushed through because it was well worth the uncomfortable moments. (I skipped through the eating disorder bits for my own mental health.) 

This book has so many twists and turns that I genuinely did not see coming. I don't know if I was just off my game because of the triggers, if I was in a weird funk, or if she is genuinely that good of a writer.

Quick paced book with consistently interesting plot. I found the ending to be a bit heavy handed though and would’ve considered a different twist. Additionally it irks me that the main characters happy ending still includes keeping a massive secret from her husband…. Eek

I think I might have liked this book better not as an audiobook. It was long, and very tense, and relentless. The adversary is such an over the top creepy psychopath that she felt unbelievable. 
Excellent descriptions of scuba diving. <Spoiler>there is an absolutely terrifying underwater rescue scene during which I chewed off a fingernail. If confined spaces underwater, diving accidents, or psychopaths make you nervous, maybe try another one of her books. <Spoiler>
