This book kept me interested in the plot, but wasn’t anything special. I found it semi-predictable and a little heavy on the concept of “family”. The ending also dragged on a little long.
I liked Henry’s story arc the best, which was only a small portion of the whole thing.

However, there were points where it kind of lost its grip on me. Purely because the author would forget what was happening it felt like. A character suddenly was not holding something they had been, or was wearing something totally different. And the over use of some words threw me. For example, svelte and akimbo (which I saw so frequently that I needed to look up their meanings).

maeverose's review against another edition
The first third was somewhat interesting, but then it derailed for me. There are too many characters and povs, some of which seemed to have been thrown in unnecessarily. I also really don’t like to read about stalkers so it got a bit triggering for me. I looked up how it ends and it wouldn’t have been worth it to keep reading.
It also really felt like it was going to have a ‘childhood trauma and mental illness makes you homicidal or a stalker’ Kind of take, as the two antagonists seemed to be the only characters in the entire book with mental illness issues (besides Hannah’s mom, who was also just a shitty person). This came out last year. We’re done with that trope. That should never have been a trope to begin with.
Thankfully I got this for free at a little free library so I didn’t waste my money.
