This book was overall pretty good and I enjoyed it overall. However I do feel there were a few sub-plot lines that were included just to add another “twist” that wasn’t really necessary.

It reminds me of Girls on a Train, and just finishing The Last Mrs. Parrish...abusive relationship, manipulating, etc. that said, it kept me interested, and I wanted to know who was to blame. It was cleverly woven together, I had to reread parts to figure out who was who.

If you like a light thriller and interesting plot twists, without too much of tension this book will be perfect for you.

A story that follows an abusive marriage with twists and turns throughout the narrative, with themes of adultery, cunning, and domestic abuse. The story is entertaining for sure, but after a while the twists become a bit repetitive. The characters are pretty boring. It’s not fresh or new in any way. A good one-time read. On Audible, Julia Whelan narrates clearly but again, pretty monotonously.

I am about the last person on goodreads to read this book so I really have nothing new to add. This is a thriller full of lots of twists and turns about Vanessa, a divorcee living in NYC who is overly concerned with the woman who has replaced her in her ex's life.

Had to DNF this one…listening to it and it sounded so repetitive. May revisit but probably not
