 I'm sold! I couldn't put this down. This was my second Salley Hepworth novel and I can't wait to read more.

Omg I loved this one soooo much!  Favorite parts:
complex and difficult relationships
Dual points of view snd going back and forth between past and present 
Little clues sprinkled in but kept you guessing. I did not predict the ending ar all
Wonderful , deep takes on complexities of relationships as well as mental health 

Seriously this is soooo good and I recommend everyone to read this!
