OMG wow…. That’s all I can say. Amazing Hitchcock-esque psychological thriller that will keep you guessing and doubting the whole time. You know it’s gonna be good when, just as you think everything is getting wrapped up, you see there’s still 3 hours of the book left!

I thought that the beginning of this book was really engaging, but I felt like it was a little long near the end. Was def in the dark about what was going on until the reveal, which I enjoyed. I'm not sure how accurate it was a portrayal of agoraphobia, but I liked reading about a character that this really dictated her life minute-to-minute. I was initially excited to find a new thriller author, but then I read more about him like lying about family members dying and having cancer? Which is so weird and not okay. So that's a no thank you from meeeee. But also,

why did the boarder keep the pic of the daughter on his wall?? very weird.

Also, was the first scene

supposed to be her boarder with the birth mother? I kept waiting for us to get back to that bit.

I also wasn't sure why Anna kept trying to talk to the cops, everyone, especially women, knows that if the cops decide that they don't believe you, they're never going to believe you, so you should stop making yourself look more and more untrustworthy.

This book was actually really good. There were a couple of twists, I saw a few of them coming, but the end one got me good. I did not expect that ending at all. It was a wild ride and I loved having it come from the perspective of Anna, she seemed a tad unreliable because of the pills and the alcohol but it made it super interesting.
