 Ooof. Though the foreshadowing leads you directly through the plot, the writing, the character development, it keeps you turning those pages. I thought I would rate it lower because of the predictability, but when I felt my eyes water towards the final part, I knew it touched me too much to not rate it close to perfect. Look forward to investigating Lisa Jewell's other works. Her fantastic delivery has me hooked.

It was predictable, but that's fine. It was still enjoyable. The writing style bothered me a bit and I just didn't really feel the whole "harrowing" aspect of the story? it just felt like someone was telling me what happened afterwards. It was still a quite enjoyable read though, especially since I don't read as many thrillers as I want to.

I enjoyed this even though some aspects of the plot were somewhat predictable. It did maintain the tension and there was some character growth.
