I really thought I wasn’t going to finish this one based off the first few chapters; but I stuck through and I’m glad I did. When the plot kicks off- hot damn…the chaos and the lies really pile up.
I will say, the sheer number of POVs does get a bit confusing at times. More than once I found myself flipping back to the first page of the chapter to double check which POV I was in; but the characters are truly messed up…like seriously fucked up.
The further you get the more dirty laundry is aired, and it quickly becomes a train wreck that you cannot look away from. Once I hit the halfway point, I will say I was hooked. The ending was a twist I didn’t see coming. Overall- really enjoyable thriller.
‼️TW: sexual harassment, sex work, domestic violence, suicide, self-harm, murder
