I am not a big reader of mystery books which is probably why I haven't I picked up until now, but I do enjoy thrillers from time to time which is probably one of the reasons why I ended up enjoying this. It was a nice blend of mystery and thriller.

The absolute best thing about this book though is the unreliable narrator aspect. And the fact that the unreliable narrator is a trained psychologist battling her own mental health battles and her mixing medication with lots of alcohol. Brilliant. I knew I shouldn't believe her about what she saw, but I did. And while I had an inkling of the twist, I didn't care. It was a great, albeit often confusing, journey alongside the main character. Which was how it was supposed to be. Author did a fantastic job of making me feel her confusion.
