Such an amazing thriller. I couldnt stop listening! 

Side note: it makes so much sense that Torre also has a background in writing romance novels considering her descriptions of how obsessed with and into Robert that Gwen was.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book from beginning to end. I love mystery books and this one was well written. Most times I can predict what will happen next and what the outcome will be but with this book, I was able to guess but I didn't get confirmation until almost the end. The suspense was excellent and that made the book even more worth while. 

The plot twist was 🤯. Just like the show, Manifest, it's all connected. 

The only thing we didn't find out was about Robert's wife. Remember when Gwen found out that one of her patients name was on the persons of interest list. I wouldn't be surprised if the patient did kill the wife. But wait.....Robert had a gun 👀 (he lowkey killed her).
Would've given a 5 if Natasha's death storyline was explored a bit more

This really was a good read.
