3.0

This was my third Lisa Jewell book, and although I didn’t enjoy it as much as the first one I read by her, I did enjoy it a world over the last one I read.
Once again, the multiple narrators/points of view is always interesting and keeps us guessing and the short chapters are always nice and keep us reading.
I just found the plot to be a bit out there and near the end it got extra convoluted for no particular reason.
