Overall, it was twisty and weird. I loved the concept of the plot but wasn’t 100% thrilled with the execution.
I would have loved to seen more with Josie’s family. Some truth.
I think what I don’t like about this book is the unreliable characters & how you don’t actually know what’s completely true.

The ONLY thing I didn’t like was the fact that they tried to make a literal PEDOPHILE a victim in this book. No thanks.

While I did like the author's slow-burn thriller style, the pedophile content was disturbing. I'll check trigger warnings before trying another Lisa Jewell book.
