 I was hooked from the start, detective hat ON trying to figure out where it was going. 
Obviously Lisa Jewell outsmarts me every time!! The Queen of Twists!!!
Jewell has such a talent for getting me invested in deeply flawed characters and getting right into the grey areas.  Always playing with perspective in surprising ways!

Don’t have any detailed thoughts about this one, I enjoyed reading it!  It kept me guessing which I was pleasantly surprised by!

Lisa Jewell is an absolutely superb writer, throughout reading she had me on the edge of my seat. You never truly know where the plot is going, the twists and turns gave me whiplash, yet excited me all the same. I wish I could read this book for the first time again and relive the plot twist all over again. One of the only books that managed to me fill my eyes with tears of pain and disgust simultaneously.
