Lee soon learns that Hazel isn’t everything she seems and she may have been running from one bad situation right into an even worse one.
I enjoyed this book, large portions were told from alternating perspectives of Hazel and Lee. I found myself sympathetic to both women and their situations. My only complaint is things seemed too tidied up at the end and it had a little too much of a “ happy ending “
Plus I had to suspend disbelief at the way Benjamin got away with some stuff he did.

I'm torn on rating this book, I enjoyed that it delved into deeper topics, but I also found it a bit predictable at times. I'd say I predicted at least half the twists.
I enjoyed the happy ending, but I felt it wrapped up too quickly for how drawn out other elements were.
Narrator Rating: 4.5 stars
Both narrators were amazing!
