A true rollercoaster from the beginning - an unreliable narrator who pulls at the heartstrings until they’re pulled just enough where the mirage starts to unravel.

This book is so crazy and unhinged but in the best way. Loved it to the very end. One of those books where you aren’t sure who to believe, even once it’s over. Audiobook narration was 👌🏼

Loved it!  Amazingly well-crafted page turner. Podcast concept was brilliant. Masterful.  I read the first half the book and listened to the second half of the book via Audible. I think this book really shines as an audiobook—-a full cast and the chilling music make it seem like you really are listening to a podcast!
