this is such a solid mystery! the pace was a bit slow at times, but the actual story itself was great. the characters were interesting and the mystery really kept me invested. i will be reading more from Hannah in the future!

I was hooked from the first chapter! the first part of the book started with a lot of momentum and questions. I truly had no idea what direction the author was going to take this. would’ve been a 5 star but there was quite a few parts that did not need to be included. specifically the part with her daughters school, that was so out of nowhere it almost felt like a chapter from a different book? it was hard to take the intense focus off the story to shift to something that had no relevance to the plot. other than that I loved the main character and how she figured everything out in the end, it all tied together well

Repetitive. My lort, so repetitive. 

This could have been so much better. All of the building blocks were there to make this a phenomenal thriller - instead, it was 200 pages of useless dribble leading up to a less than climactic twist and a sub par ending. 

Zannah is a champ. We love Zannah. 
And Tilly. 

I went into this really hoping for some weird, Sci-fi esque story about clones and ended up with a pretty upsetting (and not in a good way) domestic abuse story. Ugh.

Characters were dull. Not the author's fault, but I found the main character's "I don't get what's happening with the youth these days" attitude to be annoying to read about. The mystery was drip-fed and then answered all at once. I didn't find any of it unexpected and found the twists to be more like roadblocks delaying me from getting to the end of the story.
Lewis was so unbearable from the beginning that I couldn't understand why anyone ever thought he was good?
