jellyhavana's review against another edition

Honestly just got boring reading the whole start of the book again. Then read a plot summary and was glad I didn’t waste my time on an unnecessarily twisty thriller.

Whew, this book was intense, dark, and fucked up. Tons of trigger warnings. Couldn't put it down.

Ehhh… not a hit for me. Good writing and suspenseful

I didn’t see that Laura would be an unreliable narrator until further into the book and that David was actually Olly until her husband Tony told Ryan.

Will definitely pick up more from Marrs.
