 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 don’t know what to say, this book took me on a whirlwind of emotions. I felt very connected to the characters and honestly wish that some things didn’t happen the way that they did. This was a wonderful mystery novel and the way it was structured made it that much better. Would definitely recommend!!

I think this is a good thriller for readers just getting into the genre. Some aspects can be predictable but I think that it has good twists that will catch you off guard and somewhat uneasy. 

There are some touchy subjects so check trigger warnings as with all books!
