Needed a good thriller and this did not disappoint! If you’re a fan of unreliable characters, this one is for you. So many varying accounts of events leaves you wondering who is telling the truth, if anyone.
I’ve heard such good things about Lisa Jewell but this is the first book of hers I’ve read. I’ll definitely be picking up more in the future!

Well, color me disappointed. I had been seeing amazing reviews for this on Bookstagram and that made me so excited. Now that I've finished, I don't get the hype. This is a slow-burn, but it does have enough suspense that it makes you want to keep reading. But, for what? This was so predictable and I guessed the twist early on. Lisa Jewell's books have always been hit-or-miss for me, and, unfortunately, this was another miss. One thing you should know going into this is that it is not a thriller and very much a suspense.
