This. Book. Was. CRAZY! I went into it blind, mostly because the synopsis tells you basically nothing. all you really know is that two women live in a house together, one of whom is kept locked up by the other for some unforgivable sin of the past.
Well let me tell you, it was not just one sin 💀As the story intertwines past and present from both women’s perspectives, we learn that there is no such thing as good or bad, right or wrong, or even crazy or sane. Each woman had her troubles, and reasons for her actions. There were so many twists and turns that I audibly gasped many times while listening to this! Just when I thought I knew what might happen, another memory came out of left field to throw everything into chaos. And that ending! I’m still thinking about it days later.
This was a wholly enjoyable listen that has me excited to read more of John Marrs’ books.
