This book wasn't quite what I expected based on the description. Instead of there being a slow reveal of what she did, it's all laid out in the early chapters so we're in on the secret with her. Also there's not a husband until almost half way through the book! Otherwise, I did find the reveals quite predictable, including the epilogue. I also would have avoided the book if I'd known about some trigger warnings. This won't prevent me from trying another one of the Author's books though, as I'm intrigued to see if another will land better with me.

Thanks to Inkubator Books and NetGalley for the ARC for my early review.
