This was my first Lucinda Berry. I knew nothing going into this audiobook, other than one of my fave YouTubers highly recommended it. I was expecting more of a thriller, but I would categorize this as a psychological drama with a thriller undertone? It was a story with actual psychological principles and insights. I loved that aspect of it because the author is a psychologist and she knows what she’s talking about. The thoughts and reflections that the mother in the story has are extremely relatable. Overall, a chilling and emotional story.
