Great thriller. While I wish there was an epilogue from Cecelia, just to get her view, still a 5 star read for me. I did the audio and it was immaculate.

 I do not have words for how I feel about this book. This is a phenomenal thriller. This was heartbreaking, triggering, powerful, and so tense. The descriptions, the writing, the plot, the characters are all so well done. I felt like I was experiencing things with the characters. Everything was described so deeply and so fleshed out. The dynamics and the different relationships throughout were incredible. The only reason I’m not giving it a 5 is mostly because I really wish we could have had more chapters with Cecelia and/or Caroline. I felt like the Emily chapters were an uncomfortable perspective, rather than focusing on the women in Aiden’s life for much longer and more personal in their relationship. However, the story is still amazing and works with the Emily perspective. It’s made to be an uncomfortable book, and I devoured it.
