Quick easy read, found it to be enjoyable but very predictable. I found Poppy's character to not be very believable but otherwise it was a good book.  Finished it in a day

this book was SO good. i finished it one day, every twist and turn was unexpected, the writing was paced perfectly and detailed well. the author managed to tell a heartbreaking story, create in-depth characters, and include clues & twists all throughout this book - i highly recommend reading this.

This was a thrilling book! I enjoyed the mystery in the story. I think that the twists and the ending was shocking and I did not expect it. I picked this up because a friend recommended it. Lisa Jewell did a great job writing a compelling mystery, but there was something that stopped me from giving it 5 stars. I do not know if it was the writing, or the pacing, or something else entirely. I think at times the stories did not seem to realistic for me personally.
