I always enjoy this author duo, and I was very sucked into this story. It felt weird that it was set in an area where I've spent so much time! Will read more by this pair.

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.

I enjoyed reading this book and went through it pretty quickly thanks to the fast pace and mystery. The end

fell flat for me, and some aspects were just too convenient and seemed to only come together so the book can be completely tied up with a little bow of “the end”

. 

It is something I’d most enjoy as a beach or vacation read if I had to pick the best time for it.

 Would've been a straight 4 but something about the ending I didn't like. I really loved the premise of this. A therapist lost her license and makes her business thrive by finding unorthodox ways to help her clients. Avery was my favorite character by far. I would love to read another story with her in it just doing her therapist thing.
