"Maybe that's what hell is, other people."

I am usually a slowish reader. I savour my books. But this book I finished in two days 😂🤭

We follow the story of a little girl who goes missing in the quiet, apparently safe town of Stanhope. As the investigation unravells, so does the neighbour's. So many secrets, so many darksides of people come out. To protect their kids, hiding their shame, because of jealousy.

This was addictive, I kept wanting to know what had happened. I just couldn't put it down, I had to force myself to go to sleep 😂 sometimes adulting really is hard.
