 I really enjoyed it! It's a good commentary on gaslighting and is full of toxic relationships and questions that are not easy to answer. It didn't really focus on the main case that Alison is working on, but on Allison's life and I think that made me like the book more. The only thing I disliked about it is that the characters are not likeable in any way. I understand the character can and should be flawed in a way, but I honestly couldn't bring myself to care about anyone including Alison herself. Still, read it in a day and really enjoyed it.
