Less the twist-filled thriller I've been seeing it sold as, and more just a really gutwrenching look into the mind of a woman who fears her own child. In that sense, it was both very difficult to read and too riveting to put down. The use of a fascinating unreliable narrator and the lack of concrete, objective answers to what was and wasn't happening worked really well. It kept the wheels in my head turning, and I enjoyed thinking through everything and forming my own opinions on the situation.

Let me stress that this book is dark. I would highly advise looking up trigger warnings before reading. (the most prominent are probably
