As someone that doesn't dabble in the Thriller genre often, I was skeptical about giving this a chance (even knowing that it was such a beloved book). Many reviews I've seen mention how well done the audiobook is, so I figured I would try it for a book club. Holy hell - this was amazing! I could give 5 ⭐ from the audiobook alone. The mix of our FMC's, Lucy, unreliable memories and the podcast element revealing information throughout - truly the best way this story could have been told. While hitting on serious topics, there is plenty of humor and sarcasm throughout the story (Grandma is the best character imo) to break up those serious moments. 

If you read this - highly recommend the audio!
