That was the hook that got me to read the next book and overall was let down by the end. There’s an extra POV character, Rachel, Lucy’s ex-husband’s new wife, who added little to the overall story. There’s an investigation after a body is found, but again has little impact. In fact, the book ends where the characters started off, with little growth, leaving me to wonder what the heck I just read.
The first 4/5 was decent, but the ending just took a nose dive that knocked it down to 2 stars.
Moderate: Domestic abuse and Sexual violence

I was also just very surprised at the complete lack of accountability. I thought the same at the end of the first book, and thought that surely things would come to a head in this sequel, but everyone just got away with everything and went and had a family garden party. And Henry's adoption of other people's entire identities is treated as an 'Oh what is he like' character quirk, rather than completely insane.
I was quite invested in Rachel as a character,
All of the endings and resolutions just feel rushed and too easy to me, so I finished both books kind of annoyed and disappointed.

The fact that he's looking for someone else to imitate is somewhat compelling to me, but it wasn't as nearly as good as the twist at the end of the book. In the end it just felt like the ending was inappropriate for the tone of the book like: "and everyone lived happily ever after" or something like that.
