I'm disappointed that I called the twist and the ending and the ending twist. Still a good read, would recommend but didn't love it. Also a little peeved about how they just threw Asperger's in for a bit? Like yes I get how they wrote certain pieces of Freddie to play to that, but they spent the bulk portraying him as a creep and then used Asperger's as a way to explain that away which felt weird and cheap.

Listened to this on Audible. Can’t say I’d recommend it, but it was fun for book club.

I really enjoyed her writing. I loved how the story was hold through everyone’s perspective, and we slowly got different angles of the situation. I enjoyed getting to know each character and their background dispute there being very few likable characters.

The book perfectly articulates the idea of obsession. Obsession in different forms and for different reasons. I was completely enthralled and had a hard time putting it down.

Lisa Jewell is such a great thriller author. There are so many twists and turns in her book. Just when I think I have it figured out she throws something else in there. While there is a lot going on in this book, I enjoyed how she weaved it all together. I enjoy how she’s able to bring all of the characters stories together in the end. I can’t say too much without spoiling it but I highly recommend if you enjoy thrillers with multiple plots and twists.
