4.0

This was a wild ride. The first 3/4 was very frustrating to read with all the gaslighting and manipulation, and I could feel for the protagonist, Joanne. But the last quarter was intense and rather unexpected, all the way to the very end. It had me gripping my reading tablet hard. The writing style isn't that special, but I enjoyed the experience nonetheless. I couldn't put the book down.

I absolutely hated the characters! Listening to this made me super anxious and angry. It’s written well but it’s not what I wanted to be listening to.

3.0

Rather standard mystery where the women are enemies vying for the man’s attention.  Some nice twists, but it wasn’t anything I haven’t read before.  It was just fine.  3 stars

Wow - as far as psychological suspense goes, this was one for the books! I found it a little repetitious at times, but it's a fast read.

I trudged through the whole book. It wasn’t until the last 20% that I was actually intrigued.
