 Ooof. Though the foreshadowing leads you directly through the plot, the writing, the character development, it keeps you turning those pages. I thought I would rate it lower because of the predictability, but when I felt my eyes water towards the final part, I knew it touched me too much to not rate it close to perfect. Look forward to investigating Lisa Jewell's other works. Her fantastic delivery has me hooked.
