It took me a while to get into it and I thought the first time jump to the past and the Jane/Laura perspective was confusing. I’m glad I kept going though because it was really good and a really solid thriller.

Sometimes Andy was a bit frustrating like I just wanted to shake her and tell her to make better decisions haha but she was still likable. Hated her and Alabama though.
