I struggled to get into this but at about the halfway mark, couldn’t put it down. The story follows Evie, a teen who is being held captive by a man she refers to as her uncle. We’re never sure which one of them is telling the truth - did she really do something terrible, or is he lying to her? The story covers 2 timelines - the ‘before’ when Evie was a teenager living in Melbourne, and ‘now’ where she is held captive in small town NZ.
