This book definitely kept me turning the page to figure out what was happening. It was feeling like a 5 star until the last chapter - I did not like the ending.

Absolutely fantastic mystery. I loved the complex characters and the multiple POV's were perfect for showing how we bullshit and rationalize to ourselves.

This is very much a book for people who enjoy morally grey characters. If your main character has to be a good guy for you to enjoy it, give it a pass.

I also really loved seeing the complex workings of what running an Instagram account for a living is actually like. It seemed very realistic to me and I found it super interesting.

It had a fantastic ending but the last couple pages watered it down a bit in my opinion. I also thought that one particular scene went on excessively long.

The scene in which the baby is found dead was really drawn out.

Overall, a fantastic book and I can't wait to pick up the next one!

Oh my gosh, this book was a roller coaster! It had so much commentary on influencer culture and motherhood.

Emmy was a horrible character but I could not stop reading to figure out what she was going to do next!!! And Dan is a complex character to see how he felt about his wife’s job but just going and doing the same thing once she is saved from the stalker.

Wow! That was a RIDE.

I give props to the authors for their handling of this topic. They were able to take something that (to me) seems so black and white—should we have influencer parents/families on the internet—and make it feel grey and murky. Even the mother herself, Emmy, seemed almost justified in her actions when you were reading from her POV. This made me think about the ethics and culture of influencing in a much deeper way than before.

I also must say that the ending surprised me. I won’t give any spoilers, but I thought it was a fascinating way to wrap up the story.

If you’re looking for something thought-provoking, relevant to our day, and fast-paced, this is the book for you.

I enjoy a good, tense, thriller. This wasn't exactly that. There was a lot of fluff in the middle and then all of a sudden at then end we had a thriller. I did enjoy

that Jill was still lurking in the dark

Suppose it kept me on my toes for a bit??? Bit savage??? Could’ve been told at a faster pace for defo, she was irritating and then he became irritating at the very end??? Wasn’t sure they’d learned anything tbh

This book was interesting but slow for the first 80ish% then goes insane in the last chapter and confusingly long epilogue. The CW for this book are very serious, make sure to check them!
