  • Loveable characters? It's complicated

4.0

This one had some twists I didn't see, and a big one that I guessed about halfway through. It was still a wild, and enjoyable ride! Because life is busy, it took me a couple days to read the first 74 pages, then I read the rest of it in one sitting last night. I could not put it down! The characters weren't actually relatable (because I'm not crazy rich and I don't have a ton of free time or the ability to tell my staff to do my work for me when I don't feel like going to work). But, they were flawed and felt realistic to me. Her husband, Derek, and her best friend, Sal, were less likable to the than Marin, the main character. But, I still wanted good things to happen to them. The support group Marin was a part of was a great addition - it added another layer to the story.

Obviously, this book needs a trigger warning for child abduction. There's also infidelity and some not particularly graphic, but still there, sex scenes.

Overall, this was a great thriller and I definitely recommend it.
