A pretty fast read, I liked the story and that it was told from multiple POVs. The first-person narration sometimes felt off, like the focus wasn’t on the storyline but more so as a means to describe the setting, which made sense since Gwen is a psychiatrist and seems to constantly be in analytical mode, but sometimes it was kind of random
(like when she’s describing her house decor choices as she’s drunk and about to get it on). It also bugged me that they never circled back around to Robert’s wife’s death. </spoiler)
