Meh. It took over 60% of the book for something to happen and then the good stuff happened too quickly, it felt rushed. The characters all suck, are extremely morally grey. The main character was so rude to her assistant and that bothered me a lot, but we were supposed to be rooting for her the whole time. I only liked her slightly bc she loved her kid. Of all the thrillers out there, I wouldn’t recommended this one.

Literally buy it. Kept me on my toes. I thought I knew what was happening and then I was hit with a brick. I feel lied to. Currently questioning everything. Jaw dropping.
