Pretty basic thriller. I feel it is overhyped but I was able to read it quickly and easily. Writing was a bit too juvenile for my liking, but the twist was great. Not anything special but not a bad book.
Graphic: Suicide attempt and Murder
Moderate: Infidelity, Toxic relationship, Medical trauma, Mental illness, Stalking, Death of parent, and Gun violence
