I was not sure if I was going to like this book, but it was a good read. The protagonist, May, is in a nursing home unable to speak from a stroke - and she is scared! Throughout the book, we experience flashbacks of her life story. These flashbacks give us reason to be afraid... if the man in the home is really the person May believes him to be. Worse, everyone seems to love the new guy! How can May tell everyone what she believes and protect them?
This is a heartwrenching thriller, with a character who is old and discounted by everyone. However, her knowledge could save people - will she be able to do it?
I didn't love the ending, nor would I say this is your typical thriller. However, it was a solid read.
Beware of trigger warnings (domestic violence).
