I mean this was fine. It was kind of slow and boring. Most of it I did see coming except one thing, but at that point I was just like whatever about the story. I also hate how we can’t have just a happy couple to be honest like the affair did not even make sense. Honestly I would probably skip this one.

Not my favourite of Mary Kubica’s book, but it was still a fun ride! I always love a POV switch combined with short chapters. 

It was fun, with enough crumbs to keep you turning the pages quickly.

This is another domestic thriller from Kubica. About two couples; the wives work together at a school. One of the wives fends off the others husband who comes into her in a park. The fallout is the plot of the book. Many lies and sneaking around from both couples!
