Even though I clocked it, there was still so many plot twists that took me off guard and kept me guessing. Had me at edge of my seat a few times.

honestly, this book was very mid for me. it wasn’t a bad book at all and it wasn’t a book that I needed to DNF, but i just found it very slow and that it fell flat. for a crime/thriller, i felt the twist and turns, there were a few but they didn’t jump out you and there were no real twists or plot till over halfway through the book. i really wanted to love it more, but on the other hand it was engaging enough i still kept going! 🫶

I thought that the beginning of this book was really engaging, but I felt like it was a little long near the end. Was def in the dark about what was going on until the reveal, which I enjoyed. I'm not sure how accurate it was a portrayal of agoraphobia, but I liked reading about a character that this really dictated her life minute-to-minute. I was initially excited to find a new thriller author, but then I read more about him like lying about family members dying and having cancer? Which is so weird and not okay. So that's a no thank you from meeeee. But also,

why did the boarder keep the pic of the daughter on his wall?? very weird.

Also, was the first scene

supposed to be her boarder with the birth mother? I kept waiting for us to get back to that bit.

I also wasn't sure why Anna kept trying to talk to the cops, everyone, especially women, knows that if the cops decide that they don't believe you, they're never going to believe you, so you should stop making yourself look more and more untrustworthy.

This book was actually really good. There were a couple of twists, I saw a few of them coming, but the end one got me good. I did not expect that ending at all. It was a wild ride and I loved having it come from the perspective of Anna, she seemed a tad unreliable because of the pills and the alcohol but it made it super interesting.

Celebrating Jordon's birthday today. Decorated, going to pick up a pie (his request) on the way home and have a streak dinner.
