I enjoyed reading this book and went through it pretty quickly thanks to the fast pace and mystery. The end

fell flat for me, and some aspects were just too convenient and seemed to only come together so the book can be completely tied up with a little bow of “the end”

. 

It is something I’d most enjoy as a beach or vacation read if I had to pick the best time for it.

Both narrators in this audiobook were great. There were a lot of great players in this one. Even though I had a hunch, I kept second guessing myself on how this storyline was going to play out. I am going to read more from this author. This is my favorite book written by these 2 authors. They kept me on my toes. Mild sexual content.

 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.

This was a really intriguing domestic thriller with some great surprising twists! I don’t read many domestic thrillers lately because I find they can sort of blend together but I tend to enjoy ones that involve a therapist, especially a therapist who has questionable boundaries and should not have their license. This was no exception! The majority of the book focused mainly on drama involving cheating and lies and was fairly low stakes until the end. Also this book continued to prove my theory that I will always fall for red herrings, even if I vaguely suspect that it is one.
