I think Lisa Jewell did a very good job in terms of making the reader resent the MC because let me tell you each time I read about something about this mf I got a new wave of anger. Also the ending was very satisfactory, at one point I thought the book was going in another direction but it ended just the way I wanted it to end and I was quite satisfied.
What I didn't like was the fact that the multiple timelines and different plots got me feeling very confused and bored throughout the majority of the book. It took me about 3 months just to finish this because I was so bored while reading this, it started getting interesting after around the 60% mark.

I didn’t love my time with this. In fact, most of the time I actively despised this. To be fair, I think this was Jewell’s goal, so 2 solid stars for that. When it boils down to it though, this just wasn’t satisfying or enjoyable for me. If you want to read about a bad man doing bad things, and be in his horrible head for like 40% of the book, this may be for you.

I normally live Lisa Jewell books. This one was very repetitive and the switching between 4 year periods was confusing at times. Not one that I would recommend
