This was a super quick audiobook for me- kept me engaged and eager to hear what was happening next. Usually I get bored when chapters are based in flashbacks but for this book each of those moments were intriguing. For a while I thought this was going to be a 5 star but at the last quarter of the book or maybe closer to the end, it started to disappoint me because I felt there was too sudden of a drop in energy/ thriller tone. So it ended up between a 3.5 and 4.

Overall Thoughts:
- The "mystery" element of this novel felt half-baked and a little unbelievable. If there was a greater build-up to the big reveal, I might have found it more convincing.
- I was initially attracted to this book because the summary made it seem like the relationship between the main character and her step-daughter would be a main focus (ya'll know I'm a sucker for cross-generational female friendships). That was definitely present, but not as heavily as I wanted it to be.
- I enjoyed the narration of the audiobook! Rebecca Lowman's voice is very soothing and I could listen to this before bed or early in the morning without feeling irritated XD
