Unreliable narrators used to their full advantage. Characters that you can sympathize with AND absolutely despise. Loved the physical book so much that i immediately purchased the audiobook version to experience differently.

A dark but gripping read, packed with twists and turns that keep you guessing until the very end. The story is well-paced, drawing you in deeper with each chapter. However, a word of caution: if you're sensitive about topics involving babies, this might not be the best choice for you. That said, if you're in the mood for something dark and twisty with a reasonable pace, I’d definitely recommend picking this one up. It's an intriguing ride that keeps you on the edge of your seat!
