I think I read this book too far apart to really give a intelligent review. I will say that all of the characters sucked, but especially the main character and her sister. Definitely check out content warnings because this book had a lot of them...

I have read many books from Alice Feeney and will continue to do so. Never disappointed by all the twists and turns. I always try to guess and never manage to get it right 😭  Always have to pause the audiobook and rewind multiple times because I just cannot believe what’s happened sometimes! Literally listened to it all in one day. Couldn’t stop! Even at the gym! 🤣
