Lisa Jewell is an outstanding thriller writer. I could not put this one down and at the end of the book, I still have no idea what the truth is. 

Solid twists and turns, interesting characters, good introductions of characters over time, a few tells along the way but not too many to make it predictable. 

The audiobook is narrated really well and the music helps set the tone at appropriate places.

kashby's review against another edition

i liked the first two acts but when the theme went from being about how people who experience trauma sometimes gain the capability to harm others into how this girl is cray cray 😝 and forced an old man to date her i was kind of over it. the writing was really good but i just didn’t really fw the ending or how walter’s character was handled.
