The two main twists that caught me off guard: Nick’s baby’s father / Sally’s ending. And Mandy’s learning of the mother’s prior kidnapping 😳🤯

I wish I read this during a book club or buddy read so I could have talked to someone! This book will go down on the list of books I wish I could read for the first time again.
