It was okay, an easy book to get into without much depth.

I think the twist was obvious from early on, and the writing was slightly repetitive and stultified.

I think there are some plot holes that haven’t been answered too… surely the police wouldn’t have left it there? Why didn’t she tell the police about her childhood? It’s implied she kills a rival actor but why? As her agent says, she’s received plenty of job offers anyway.

• this writing style is PERFECT for a thriller
• the twists actually got me & that’s a hard thing to do at this point 
• the characters have a lot of support/backstory to their actions but I could’ve used a little more 😬
• I know this is probably the goal, but the setting, characters, plots & descriptions made me feel grimy (definitely check your trigger warnings for this one)
• I felt like the dual timeline was a really effective way to tell this story & it flowed smoothly
• the narration on the audiobook was absolutely incredible
• definitely got to the end and wanted to go back through everything I’d just read to make sense of everything

At first I was really into the novel, but I found the ending really disturbing and gross. I feel like there were way better twists that could have explained what had happened.

dark sad

3.0

Not sure if I can say I liked it.
To be honest, most of the book is actually excellent and suspenseful. When I was at 70% of it I thought it must be a five stars read.
But when the truth of the mystery is revealed, GOD SAVE ME! It's simply disgustingly perverted that I almost vomit.
Now, I really need a good Rom-Com to recover from this 🥲

What the fuck did I just read? I love Alice Feeney as an author, but I found the depictions of child abuse, animal abuse, rape, and at the end...incest (again, what the actual fuck???) to be disturbing.

Literally what the fuck? At the end of the book she finds out her husband is actually her brother AND THEN SAYS SHE WANTS TO HAVE A BABY WITH HIM? (albeit just to get out of the situation) but then actually falls pregnant with her brother's baby? I feel sick to my stomach with this book. So disappointed.
