Favorite from Lisa Jewell! I was instantly hooked and didn’t want to put it down until I saw how it ended. I felt like Jewell created tension from the start, and I wasn’t expecting some of the twists in the second half. I loved the ambiguous ending, and re-read the epilogue 3 times to see I could figure out the “truth.”  I also enjoyed the documentary excerpts throughout, but felt they became a little overused in part 4. Overall, one of my favorite reads of the year!
