I made it through roughly fifteen percent of this book before I gave up. I lost track of how many characters there were, and it wasn't very clear how they all related to each other and to the story. And speaking of story, there didn't seem to... really be one at all. Maybe it was trying to be slow burn or something, but I didn't find anything whatsoever to like about it and I gave up. DNF.

I'm conflicted about this book. On the one hand, I didn't see the twist coming, but on the other I kind of hated it?

A great read! Told from the point of view of two sisters, showing us how actions always have reactions and can affect the lives of people close to us!

I really enjoyed this book until the twist at the end. Probably because I read a book a couple of months ago WITH EXACTLY THE SAME TWIST (and I didn‘t find it very plausible then either).

Once it takes hold, this psychological thriller refuses to let go until the final page has been turned. Holly Seddon is a fantastic storyteller and is one I will definitely look out for in the future.

With short, punchy chapters that keep you wanting to read more, this fast moving and at times shocking thriller is a must read for anyone who loves a good family drama with the added bonus of a dark twist to the tale.

A fabulous 4 stars. Recommended.

Thank you to NetGalley and TBC for giving me the opportunity to read an ARC of this book.

Stayed up all night to finish it!
Thrilling and suspenseful all the way through, did not go the way I thought it would, but I couldn’t stop thinking about it when I was done.
