I had quite a good time with this book, and I kept picking it up to find out more of the story as it unfolded. I'll definitely look at this author again. I appreciated the unease of the book and not being sure if the narrators are reliable. Trauma all over the place.

I am just not really in the right headspace for a time jumping, mystery thriller. I may come back to it later.
