HOWEVER…I was left scratching my head at the ending—from the quickly rolling pace of the climax on, I craved a surprise twist that would leave me reeling and chuckling with surprise. But…the loose ends, although tied up, did not feel complete.
When it comes to a book like this with multiple timelines, I want all of those timelines to be tied together in an inseparable way. This felt more like two separate stories that were related, BUT…I really wish they had been better connected as one.

2 stars for modern day Caroline. I really could not stand her. It might have worked better for me if it felt like she’d had to work at all for her “findings” but it was the most lackluster and underwhelming presentation of “research”. And don’t even get me started on the toxic narcissist of a husband
Moderate: Child abuse and Toxic relationship
