It’s so hard to describe this book (or even give trigger warnings) without also giving spoilers. 

I think the author did a really good job of keeping you guessing and adding plenty of twists without it being heavy handed or corny. The narrator is both deeply sympathetic and deeply unsympathetic at the same time somehow. This was one I couldn’t put down.

It’s hard to give TW without spoiling but many of the major trigger warnings surround motherhood in some way

A very fast paced mystery thriller with an unreliable main character and at list 2 twist that you don't see coming. 

This book not only has an unexpected plot twist it also covers very tough topics such as: motherhood and society expectations on mothers and women, mental health and how others can influence the way we see ourselves and others.

I didn’t like most of the characters in this book but I think that was intentional as the author wanted them to be realistic. It was slow for the first half, I found the second half went much quicker
