This was a solid, quick read! Not perfect, but really good!
Synopsis: On the commuter train home, Selena admits to a stranger that her husband is sleeping with their nanny. Days later, the nanny disappears. Did the stranger have something to do with that? Is Selena responsible?
What I liked:
- The woman were all strong and reliable as narrators. Maybe they didn't all make the best choices, but you couldn't accuse any of them of being weak!
- The tie-in to The Hollows series at the end was cute
- It flew by. I read this in 2 sittings, and did not want to put it down
- There are a lot of POVs with some fake names, and differing timelines - it would be easy to get lost in but it managed to work really well
What I didn't like:
- The ending was just slightly unsatisfying. Nothing particularly wrong with it, I just expected something more shocking or powerful.
- None of the twists were particularly surprising, and a couple were pretty predictable.
Overall, great read! This would be ideal for a beach or spring break :)
