woowza, this was a wild ride. I’m not sure why It took me forever to finally pick this up but I’m really glad I did.

what I liked:
-girrrrrllll those small chapters?? AMAZING. I could read a couple and then go do something and then come back. I never felt lost.
-I felt like I was on the edge of my seat the whole time I read this.
-unreliable characters that WORKED
-sinister yet also sad (for me at least) as I could feel the pain of the main character and her paranoia as a mother
-the audio book was amazing

what I didn’t like:
-the trash of a husband…Fox
-I kinda wish we had a couple more pages to really understand the end

Overall, this is a psychological thriller but I also feel like it raised important questions in regards to being a mother/traumas/fears/questions.
BUT so so many ⚠️trigger warnings⚠️ so please look into those before.
