This book was confusing to me. I don’t understand why Christopher and Hannah were written as medical professionals when:
A. It contributed nothing valuable to the story
B. It’s obvious the writer has no concept of how any of these medical situations would actually happen.
Getting past the beginning was somewhat worth it. The book did get better. Everything builds and builds and builds and then it just feels like it ends in the middle??????? Are they just leaving Janie in the rehab house? Are they having her rehomed? What is going to happen with the lawsuits for Allison???
This book was entertaining like a bad horror movie. It felt surface level and insincere. Really bummed because I wanted a good thriller and this was just stupid.
