I don't tend to read your run-of-the-mill contemporary thrillers much, and this book reminded me why. Shitty people doing shitty things, making terrible choices that you feel pretty confident any sane-minded person wouldn't make, and then add a super weird kind of happy ending.... Yeah, no.

I give two stars for the suspense, which was well-built, and for a readable thriller that I'm sure would be great for someone who likes this genre. I don't, however, think it didn't anything particularly new or interesting, and I hate hate hate using

rape, adoption, and/or incestuous activity

as plot devices.

This book kept me hooked and coming back from the very beginning. There are some heavy scenes and I would advise reading any trigger warnings before reading this book, but I would definitely recommend it! It was a great thriller and the twist was a good one!! If you like psychological thrillers, this book is for you!
