this is such a solid mystery! the pace was a bit slow at times, but the actual story itself was great. the characters were interesting and the mystery really kept me invested. i will be reading more from Hannah in the future!

I was hooked from the first chapter! the first part of the book started with a lot of momentum and questions. I truly had no idea what direction the author was going to take this. would’ve been a 5 star but there was quite a few parts that did not need to be included. specifically the part with her daughters school, that was so out of nowhere it almost felt like a chapter from a different book? it was hard to take the intense focus off the story to shift to something that had no relevance to the plot. other than that I loved the main character and how she figured everything out in the end, it all tied together well

Bored white soccer mom being a little too nosy. If you like constant repetition, mediocre writing, and a very slow almost glacial pace for 85% of the book and then the speed of a rocket launch at the end, you might like this book.
