The blurb of the book is completely misleading. This isn’t a thriller but rather a psychological novel. The beginning started so slowly and the end of the book was so weird. I honestly have no idea what I just read.

Never tapped "it's complicated" so much in a review before. The MC is at once, relatable and despicable. She's deeply troubled and the book is an unsettling slow-burn for this reason. Yet it's also captivating and propulsive. I had such a good time with this book; had me audibly tsk-ing, laughing, snorting, and uh oh-ing throughout.

This was an interesting one. It definitely has a Hitchcockian feel. It’s well written and Fieto does a good job of getting you in Mrs March’s head as she devolves. I did see some of the twists coming but it was still an enjoyable read and kept me engaged the whole time.
