Well, well, well...
This was a doozie of a thriller!
Slow burnage in the beginning building the story with Nina's (the daughter) and Maggie's (the mother) perceptives and perceptions of their reality. 
This is a domestic thriller that is a dysfunctional and toxic as they come.  Yikes!
As the story progresses, more of actual reality becomes apparent, but even then there are more twists and revelations... what a ride!
This was definitely an enjoyable read.  Super slow in the beginning and the bouncing back and forth of POV is somewhat tiresome, but entirely necessary for the unfolding story.

Be warned of some triggers.
