I always enjoy this author duo, and I was very sucked into this story. It felt weird that it was set in an area where I've spent so much time! Will read more by this pair.

a man turning out to be crazy and abusive

in thrillers will never surprise me.

the book is pretty good overall, though. both perspectives—client marissa and ‘consultant’ avery—are engaging. so refreshing that avery is a woman happily single with a good career.

marissa distrusts other women the whole book, while it was her own damn husband.

and at the end the women support each other. I like the subversion of the catty women stereotype here.

axkerti's review against another edition

I just couldn't deal with the story, the plot was absolutely dragging and while I finally got one question answered when I DNF'd there was literally no energy left to the book. I was bored and I was starting slump. Chances of ever giving this book another try are really slim.

Literally buy it. Kept me on my toes. I thought I knew what was happening and then I was hit with a brick. I feel lied to. Currently questioning everything. Jaw dropping.

 Would've been a straight 4 but something about the ending I didn't like. I really loved the premise of this. A therapist lost her license and makes her business thrive by finding unorthodox ways to help her clients. Avery was my favorite character by far. I would love to read another story with her in it just doing her therapist thing.
