I am not usually a suspense reader but this one had me captivated. A friend saw I was reading and asked what I thought and a metaphor about “The Yellow Wallpaper” came to mind. 

Couple of other thoughts:
  • I couldn’t quite place this in time. At first I thought the 50s but then some other things were mentioned and I thought maybe the 80s? Either way,
    the trip she takes to Maine
    could not have happened in modern times. 
  • I was about a third of the way through the book when I realized we don’t actually know her name
    and then was very surprised to see it in the last line of the book.
