Love love love, only reason why it isn’t a 5 star read is because I would have loved some further development at the end. Would have loved to known about the reunion

De 2e Lisa Jewell die ik lees en het zijn perfecte soft thrillers om een leesrut tegen te gaan: goeie suspense, haar character building is bovengemiddeld  en ze heeft de kunde om verschillende tijdslijnen en vertelstemmen af te wisselen. Maar net als bij 'None of this is true' wordt de eigenlijke plot te snel afgehaspeld voor mij: iets meer slow burn en ik geef ze 4 sterretjes.

I was hooked, I really wanted to know what happened.

I felt so sad that Tallullah wasn’t speaking to her mom about how horrible Zach was, I really wished she did. And I was so glad that Tallullah was saved in the end. I know they’re fictional but I was really into it.

I’ll be reading more of Jewell’s books in the future.

I am starting at notes and I cannot help but laugh at myself and how much I wanted it to be a queer thriller with a happy ending. I couldn’t put the book down. It wasn’t my first story of Lisa but it might be my favourite so far. Also: bi, pan, queer people exist.

“She’s a strong woman. A gay woman. A mother. A future social worker.”
