this had a very promising start! the premise was so interesting & i was excited to dive into a new thriller i had heard so much about on booktok! however, this was not very good.
it probably didn’t help that i didn’t really like the audiobook narrator, maybe i would have enjoyed it more if i read it physically! it starts with a new mom in her new home with her new husband, and she’s super bored. she thought this was the life she had always wanted, but was itching for something to do. she had no idea her life was about to turn upside down with the introduction of her husband’s daughter from a previous marriage. in front of her father she’s the perfect angel, but it seems that there may be something sinister happening behind the scenes.
look, the double plot twist just didn’t do it for me. i hated it in fact. i didn’t really care about the characters by the time i finished the book, but i still hate the way it ended.
