At first I wasn't sure I was going to enjoy the book... It took me a couple weeks to finish it. Normally when I enjoy a book I devour it... It's not until the last third of the book that I couldn't put it down. I 100% did not see where it was going to end and when I did.. wow! Definitely worth the read... I love when I can't figure out the book before I finish.... I do wonder if I missed a couple red herrings because I wasn't 100% invested in it and for a long time I couldnt understand why one of the narrators was even apart of it and the. You get to a certain chapter and you just .. can't wrap your mind around it! I say give it a shot. I see mixed reviews all the time but I'm glad I finished it.

Ok. This book. I have lots of opinions. lol

The story is disturbing but I wouldn’t say it was “bad.” It definitely held my attention but, man, was I stressed out & need to cleanse my soul with some comedy. There are few people I would recommend it to &, if you have kids, maybe skip this one. 

Some complaints: 
- There is SO MUCH unnecessary details that make the book at least 1/4 longer than it needed to be. 
- I’ve been a doula &, while there is some truth in what she writes about that field, there is a lot of incorrect info 
- There are tangents she seems to go on at times that do nothing to do with the story that it almost feels Ike a story written so she could get on her soapbox on certain opinions of hers. Some chapters just felt like propaganda for her views. 
- The character development left much to be desired. Half the time it was like she didn’t know what kind of person she wanted to make a character so she kept changing them up. 
- Finally, I really did not care for the narrator of the audiobook. 

Don’t get me wrong, I think many people will really enjoy this one, especially crime fans. But 3 stars is the best I can give it.
