I enjoyed this book - it had an intriguing plotline. I liked how it was switching between perspectives and timelines hearing from the grandmother in the past and the granddaughter in the present. It was a really interesting story, the plot twists were great, some I figured out and some I didn’t, but, regardless it was still really enjoyable.

This was a really good family drama/mystery/thriller. The multiple POVs positively contributed to the story.

I thoroughly enjoyed this thriller! Lots of twists and turns and a few different mysteries to solve within the story. I didn’t see the main twist coming until the very last minute which I love! Really recommend this for a fast paced thriller.
