Whew! I think I read this in two sittings. It was a very tightly paced, twisty thriller, and I loved the short chapters and multiple POVs. 

My main issue was that there was SO many characters and plot threads I could not keep them straight. Even in the beginning I could feel myself losing track of all the people introduced. I think it would’ve been better if I actually read this instead of listening to the audiobook, but it was a little rough. I’m still not quite sure what exactly happened to certain threads became it was a little too ambiguous and confusing. Like a certain character died? That was news to me in the epilogue! And googling it, it doesn’t seem I’m the only one who was confused about that. 

Also, I can tell this male author has never been pregnant with twins or talked to a woman who’s been pregnant with twins. 

All in all this was an enjoyable thriller and I’d recommend it. What you see is what you get. Fast and twisty.
