This was a book that just kept on giving. This isn't the fastest paced thriller I have read, but it keeps you wanting more; the short chapters definitely worked in the books favour. The characters were all well crafted, and I really felt for the main character Helen. Parts of the plot were slightly predictable, which I actually think this worked in the books favour, as it made the more shocking twists pack a bigger punch. The only thing I would say is that this book could have been shorter, and still have been just as great.

4.0

Laura Kirman did a fantastic job narrating this book- I highly recommend the audiobook! 

While yes, I did predict whodunnit, I still enjoyed the ride and by go the last sentence was sooooo satisfying!

And while I usually complain about unlikable characters- I think the author managed to do them right. After all, you’re not supposed to like many of them anyway.

This book covers heavy topics such as sexual assault and child loss so please read with caution!

A tense, well-written read that I finished in a day — I had to know what happened next! The author also sensitively handled some really tough topics without pulling punches about the reality of living through them. The ending was also really satisfying.

Definitely a page turner and a good mix of keeping you guessing but not being overly complicated. Loved the setting of Greenwich park in England as well as the element of meeting someone at a prenatal class.
