This was so good! Firstly, I love that there were indicators for the present time and past events. It helped me to not get confused plus I could easily to back and connect dots as the plot unwound. I’m happy that all of my guesses of what was happening were absolutely wrong because I hate when thrillers are too predictable. I could’ve NEVER guessed any of this lol. I’m for sure gonna check out Riley’s other work.

Definitely not a book to read if you’re struggling with alcohol. I understand it as a focus of the novel but wasn’t expecting such a heavy feature. Would rather have focused more on the crime aspect. Not my favorite though the narrator was nice.

I listened to this on a whim and am so glad I did! I didn't know anything going into it and the last few hours of it my mouth was just fully agape!
