Took me a LONG time to get into. Like, I read the first 50 pages and then didn't pick it up for another 2 weeks! Once I got going again though, I did enjoy it.

First twist was great - I did not see the 'nellie and Vanessa are the same person' thing coming but it totally made sense when it came. But the twists with the 'therapist' also being an ex partner, Emma almost sticking with Richard, and whatever the heck was going on with the sister not so much - they were fine, but not the same 'wow' moment for me... And the final thing with who Emma was just felt unnecessary, and honestly kind of left a sour taste at the end of the book for me.

Twists can be good, but this ended up feeling a bit like overkill.
