ok this one was so wild!! john marrs always writes the most heart-pounding stories, and I was so here for every twist and turn!
each of the three women were absolutely so unique from each other, and it was a hoot to read each of their POVs! margot was so irritating and deserved everything coming to her, but I will say that anna and liv had their own secrets that had me GASPING!
it was a slower paced thriller, which usually is not my jam, but the ending paid off so satisfyingly! the main plot twist was so fun and quirky, and the epilogue had me GAGGED!
there were so many moments that were a bit far-fetched, but there’s something about having no reliable narrators that makes the mystery so much more interesting!
I almost wanted more chapters from the “men” of the story too as they had to be as gagged as I was when they learned the truth about their wives 🫢
