Thank you Flatiron Books for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

So.

I hated some parts of it so much that I wanted to DNF it and throw it in the lake (I read it while I was on the boat).

However, the ending was I hated some parts of it so much that I wanted to DNF it and throw it in the lake - at least to me - and I will not spoil that for anyone unless you aren’t going to pick up this book. The ending seriously saved this from being a 1.5/2 star book for me.

Also, in my opinion, this is not a thriller. Much more of a domestic drama with SMALL suspenseful elements. However, I do agree this has Stepford Wives with the gender shift vibes.

In the end, I did enjoy The Whisper Network more than this one. I will definitely still pick up the next book Chandler Baker writes, I just hope I don’t feel like throwing that one in the lake.
