this book was mainly just okay. it felt much longer than it needed to and will probably be forgettable. i was also super confused for most of the book as to what we were even worried about. i did, however, appreciate the two twists at the end and did not see them coming. i did also feel palpable tension during many parts of the book which is a sign of a thriller setting the mood effectively. overall, this was good and an interesting premise but i wouldn’t reread. 

p.s. why was there so much therapist slander and misunderstanding… it annoyed me every time the main character would talk about therapists as being manipulative and simply out to get people’s secrets. a little goofy if you ask me (but i’m biased)
