I found this story to be very gripping. It was hard for me to put it down. The twists and turns were very good as well. The author seems to do a good job at pulling the reader in and keeping them there.

This one was so good! Caution if you have a baby it might give you anxiety, but wow it was so so so good! I did not see the big plot twists coming and the end had me like 🫨 I was shook. The foreshadowing was so good and the only reason it wasn’t a 5star is just the swearing. But like honestly it was like 4.5 stars!!

It would’ve gotten more stars if the ending was better. I was so angry when I got to the last page.

It definitely was a fast and engaging read, but the characters are not very likeable and there was something about the writing style that irked me occasionally.
