This book was absolutely nuts. At no point did I know where it was going or how it would end. Ultimately I enjoyed it - I was shocked by all the twists, and found the ending satisfying.

I will say at the 65% mark I was wondering what the hell this book was supposed to be about 😂 thinking “um HELLO, Sebastian?!” 
I went in blind which I like doing for any book that’s supposed to be a thriller or suspense. I wouldn’t say this is either of those two categories. 
But! I did however not guess the plot twist we finally received 😁😂 that’s always a great feeling. 
There’s so much to talk about this book but it’s hard without spoilers. 
The audio wasn’t bad! It was enjoyable and easy to listen to. 
Trigger warnings 
Suicide attempt, suicide, suicidal thoughts, drug and alcohol use, missing/abducted children. I wouldn’t say these things are graphic but have some details when being talked about.

I thought this was very slow and I honestly didn’t care. The first chapter was really good but then it got boring for like 60% because I did not care about this man cheating. Also I was just thinking about it and thinking of theories and I was right I don’t know how I guessed it but I did so I’m kind of like upset me because I actually really like that person. I do think you would like this if you like to see characters and how situations can affect them and the things they might do.
