Story line is a little repetitive.

It was a good book to listen to while driving. It was a little confusing because there were so many characters and side story lines. It was interesting but not as good as another book I read by this author.

Okay I very much enjoyed this book! It was my first from Lucinda, but I know I will be reading tons of her work in the future!

I didn't want to put this book down, I found that it kept me intrigued from start to finish. The twists weren't as shocking as I would typically like for a thriller (hence the 4 stars vs 5) but overall they were still enjoyable! There was one towards the end that did make me audibly gasp! So that was fun!

I definitely enjoyed the different POVs and getting everyone's story, although some areas seemed a little stagnant and disappointing. There were also some things that were slightly annoying and maybe not as realistic (due to my personal preference lol) but this was a great read and I definitely would recommend for something quick!

I liked this book rarely well. It makes me think of my friendship with my two best friends, minus the children. I do wish there was a part two to the epilogue though.
