This book is kind of boring. It starts down the path of great thriller elements plenty of times and then just kind of… fizzles. I found myself finishing it just to figure out how they were going to end a story that didn’t really feel like it was going anywhere. There was no sense of compulsion to any of the events, and the whole thing felt somewhat disjointed.
And then it just ended with the husband being the bad guy? Boring!
I will say, I didn’t see the twist coming, but as soon as it happened it felt like a cop-out.
AND the pharmaceutical company storyline was TOTALLY unnecessary
