This book started a little slow, and some bits remained that way, but I really enjoyed the duel timeline (moving backwards and forwards) and the two points of view. Lilly's perspective was much more insightful and fun to read, as I did tend to find Olivia overbearing and distasteful at times.

The ending was very anti-climactic which was a huge let down from the exposition.

Loved this book. Not usually a huge Jodi fan but between this and Small Great Things… I may have to change my tune…

Beautifully written. Typically not a fan of books co-authored but the effort that Jodi & Jennifer put to make their chapters indistinguishable was clear. The characters are wonderfully complex and I struggled to decide if I trusted them, supported them yet in the end came up loving them.
