I always enjoy a book with multiple perspectives and the progression of the plot was good. The resolution feels a little anticlimactic.

once Roan was shown to be having an affair it was suspicious and then we find out about Harrison and it’s obvious it was going to be a combination

The last chapter had a little shock but other than that I didn’t find it a real page turner with any twists and turns but I also read a lot of crime genre books.

I kept turning pages with this one! It kept me guessing, too. Some characters I liked, others not so much. This book deals with things some might find triggering. Mental health, infidelity, sexual abuse, (both child and adult), parental abandonment and parental death. Just a slew of things because people are messy. We make bad choices and decisions. There are bad people who chose to hurt others. A few characters are either therapist or are/were in therapy. I thought it gave me a lot to think about and explore, (disclosure: I have experienced some of the issues in the story). I will be suggesting it to friends who enjoy psychology and thrillers.
