Meh. Predictable. Not really much of a thriller. Skip it if you’ve got something else on your TBR.

Fun thriller but had issues with the following:
- Why would someone who put so much effort into planning against and blackmailing Daniel would risk revealing she wasn't actually pregnant by constantly doing things that pregnant women shouldn't do (eg. smoke, drink and eat charcuterie)? It makes absolutely no sense why she would constantly make such stupid choices.
- How was Helen at her big age not suspicious of her husband??? The man couldn't stand her. Also as soon as he left the house she got a text from Rachel. How was that not questionable?

Overly descriptive on details that I didn’t feel added anything to the story or mood. I also hated every character but one, but I guess that’ll happen in a story like this one…
Moderate: Rape
Minor: Drug use

Well executed, kept you guess kind of past the halfway mark while wondering why on earth the main protagonist was so gullible and trusting.

Ok, I loved this book. I had seen a lot of mixed reviews so I was a bit skeptical but was consumed from the beginning. It was fun to switch it up to a more character-driven thriller rather than plot driven. The whole time I was questioning “why” and “how?!” making it fun to try to piece the puzzle pieces together! Ultimately leaving me with “wow” moments when twists and turns occurred. Especially when it makes the end extremely satisfying.
I thought the writing was fantastic and incredibly binge-worthy too. highly recommend adding this to your tbr list or if you’re in a reading slump!
