The twists this book had were amazing and I read the entire book in 3 hours. I tend to really like books that either go back and forth between two timelines, or ones with several narrators giving their part of the story, and this book was the perfect mix of both of those!
However, a lot of the plot information was sort of overlooked to discuss one of the main character’s jobs as a doula, which we could have done without in my opinion. Also, there was a strangely large amount of unnecessary female hysteria that sort of tainted the read.
Overall it was a good read though!
