Did the 2nd book need to be written? No. Did I like it? Sort of. It wasn’t terrible but there was no point to it

Solid thriller! Actually liked this one a lot more than the first - Lisa Jewell does it again! I think most Lisa Jewell fans will find this one to be a very satisfying sequel. So many good twists and a pretty satisfying ending. Also a good standalone but I did have to go back to the Family Upstairs a couple times to refresh my memory on some things.

Thanks to Atria books and Simon and Schuster for my advanced reading copy!
