This was written well, and I enjoyed the mystery! I guessed a couple of the twists, but there were several I didn’t see coming!!

This was a well-crafted legal/domestic mystery with a big cast of characters and mixed media elements that were really interesting to read. I enjoyed the legal elements and that there were multiple mysteries, although it did sometimes feel like there was probably a bit too much going on. I didn't really care for the smaller reveals throughout the book that were mostly to do with domestic drama; I did like the final reveal, though it wasn't super shocking or memorable, but it was surprising in a way that made sense. I also wish the characters had been more fleshed out so I could have cared more about them, but overall this was an enjoyable read that I would highly recommend to any fans of domestic and/or legal mysteries.

Kimberly McCreight does it again, with a mystery that pulls you in and has u saying wtf out loud while reading. another fun read, also i adore the way she writes woman, it’s done with so much love and empathy in a way that I feel only a woman can create and understand and I never have to worry about it something disgusting happening to them in an objectifying ‘male-gazey’ way
