I kid you not, I was almost about to "dnf" this book. I went into it pretty blind and as I was reading it I thought the premise was interesting and rather compelling but for some reason I felt rather bored. I wasn't really sure how the authors were gonna take the story considering it was about 400 pages. But I decided to continue due to how hyped the book was and because it was just sitting their on my "shelf". So I decided to give it another chance and I'm glad that I did because the story definitely picked up.

I think around page 130-150 is when my intrigue started to grow so when we got Daphne's POV I was a bit taken a back. But I trusted the process and I'm so glad I did because once we got Daphne's chapter I was HOOKED! I was eating this book up and it became soooo good! I loved it! Jackson's ending was a bit anticlimactic for me, but I'm pretty content with everything else. If you don't mind a slow burn type of book then I totally recommend this book. (Very triggering topics though, so please be careful).

Apparently, I have read too many domestic thrillers as I've seen this plot before.  It's possible this book, published in 2017, was the first one to do it of the books I've read.  Thankfully, it was quick to read.

I found myself constantly reading, but at times I found the fast-paced nature of the book and the sometimes simplistic way it was written to be a little cheesy. Once I got halfway through the book I could semi-predict the ending. Easy read. Enjoyable but nothing stellar.

This book was very interesting. I needed some time to get into the book but as soon as I reached part two I finished the book in one setting. Personally I think part one was a bit to long and also going to well but  I still enjoyed it. Especially part two was very gripping. Also I think part 3/the ending was a bit to short but that’s just my opinion. But if you like books with loveable characters this is not it. Particularly part two made me hate characters so much I nearly dnf this book since I like books with loveable characters. Nevertheless the story is interesting and I enjoyed the plottwists at the end.
