Oh my goodness I couldn't put this one down after I really got into it. Basically the story is of birthday buddies that celebrate in a local pub. They're from completely different backgrounds. It was a little confusing with the present day accounts of multiple murders uncovered. But trust me, it will make sense in the end. This is a very twisty, very dark glimpse into the mind of someone who is mentally unwell. How much is the truth and how much was spin into a lie?
I think Josie is in need of a medical diagnosis but I think she spins her life into a reality she can believe which is exactly what Walter said. I don't believe the daughters or Walter set her up as the ending implies. No way! This is 100% all fabrication to edit or what Josie can't handle of the reality
