the plot started out interesting and tense once you find out what happened to the main character, but after about halfway into the book the story loses some of its thriller-esque qualities. the story becomes more of a mystery and it becomes a little ridiculous when it comes to the interactions between two individuals. i did enjoy reading about their relationship and seeing it develop but that was not meant to be the focus of this book. there are some very heavy trigger warnings for this book and i liked the main character but wasn’t overly attached to her. there is a plot twist that i did not see coming that kept the ending a satisfying one for me not to rate it a flat 2 stars.

Started out and went on great but the ending was truly not it. Felt like an afterthought, no originality, not suprising. I really wasn't satisfied with it. Therefore not a mystery but a psychological thriller, and even though it was about such a sad thing, I really found it captivating. I found the writing quality high enough until the part she was found. I am still happy I read it, would recommend, just don't expect a good ending lol.

Trigger warning for this book for infant loss, SA, and Physical abuse. The infant loss part of the book was very hard to get through. Don’t read before bed.  But man oh man was this book good. I loved the main character. She’s so human, and I loved how her healing journey was not portrayed as linear.
