I simply believe women so I was on Lauren’s side the entire time. It doesn’t do as well creating the idea that might be delusional or she might be in the right. Ah well, it all works out in the end. A real page turner, but overall not super satisfactory and I don’t think I’d read it again.
Her husband sucked so bad it was almost unbelievable if I didn’t already know most are worse. I liked the detective Harper character, but she slowly turned into just as annoying as everyone else.

I liked this more than I expected to. I got attached to the main character and felt for her, to the point of being actually mad at her husband.
The author did a really good job of writing in a way that made me feel squeamish at the gore and medical, uncomfortable and tense with the antagonist, angry with the husband and anxious for the detective. The excerpts from fairy tales at the beginning of chapters was also a nice touch. The ending was another punch in the gut and to be fair, I wouldnt have had it different.
