4.0

I loved this book and couldn't put it down! The characters were relatable despite me never having gone through what Bridget goes through with post-partum depression. I guessed the ending about halfway through maybe? so would have preferred hints to have only started later in the book, but even so, the twists and turns leave you questioning everything and I would highly recommend this book!
