think i’m falling out of my lisa jewell phase, which is a shame. while having wildly different plots, her stories all have the same formula feel of like.. woman w a shitty husband, insane things start happening around them after a shift in their life/relationship and then some third act plot twist w a character who was mentioned briefly on page twenty

Pretty good but the perp was extremely obvious. Maybe I just read too many thrillers? I still liked it. Although the book was way longer than it should have been.
