“Life is like a game where pawns can become queens, but not everyone knows how to play.”
I’m officially an Alice Feeney fan! I was obsessed when His and Hers came out, and I have to say I love this one too!
Feeney, has an amazing way of making me think I have everything figured out and then pulling a twist I didn’t see coming.
From the alternating POVs to the past and present timelines, this book kept me engaged the whole time I was reading and I finished it in one airplane sitting!
If you like unreliable narrators, twists that take you by surprise and something you won’t be able to put down once you start? I’d definitely recommend this read!

Starting right off at Scotland in the car you get to know what the characters are like from that little scene. I can not say a little overview without giving away the whole story so bear with me. This book had me on edge constantly I love the untrusting story. The character I loved the most turned out to be the absolute worse. One thing I did not like was that the twist felt a bit rushed in my opinion it could have taken a few more pages to play out. This book is perfect for people entering the thriller genre you still had a lot of heartfelt scenes while still having creepy vibes.
