Interesting enough to keep my attention but the plot wasn’t believable enough for me. I also didn’t care for the main character as an adult.

LMAO wtf did I just read. 

Pros: The plot and writing really had me until the ending and reveal. I felt so interested by the story, and then out of nowhere comes that insane and ridiculous ending. A booktuber I like gave this 5/5 stars. He personally loved that the ending was bizarre, messed up and “took no prisoners.” If that is your interest in a thriller, I highly recommend because I doubt you’ll find something that goes as hard as Alice Feeney, she’s definitely not afraid to go totally unhinged and that’s kind of cool on it’s own.

Cons: Not only was it the most insane ending I’ve ever read, it made absolutely no sense.  How did the villain even know what they know? How did they manage to trick anyone? How did they manage to physically pull any of that off?? The villain actually could have worked for me if she didn’t add any of the crazy and um quite frankly disgusting things to the character and ending. I made the unfortunate decision to listen to this on audiobook too…ick.

The overdone child abuse and the weird incest plot, ugh!

Honestly, I love Alice Feeney’s more recent books but her earlier books are too much for me. This whole book gave me the “ick”

I liked the writing style overall and the story was compelling. As other reviewers have mentioned, the ending has a twist you definitely wouldn’t expect but will also leave you with a bad taste in your mouth. Wouldn’t read this one again and don’t know that I would necessarily recommend it to others.
