This was good! I did not see this coming. Happy to have come across this author. I can’t wait to read another one from her. It had a tiny hint of psychological thriller to it. No sexual content. Mild profanity. Characters were deceptive in a “No way is this happening!” kind of way.

The plot twist is the must be the most ridiculous thing I've read in a while. The rest of the book was okay but nothing I would recommend reading.

This was a super engaging page-turner - I really wanted to know WHAT WAS HAPPENING, and it really waits a while to reveal itself, teasing out the ending. I did struggle a bit more with the denouement, which felt rushed...I wanted more explanation, more information on the twistier parts of the book. Made for a great book club discussion, however!
