Lisa Jewell had one of my
best reads of 2023. This one just felt a little bit too all over the place. The timeline jumps were too jumpy and it often confused the plot for me. One of the big reveals I feel happened so unsurprisingly that it was weird. This thriller is still
a fast read because you spend the whole time trying to figure out WTF is going on. The storyline was good once you figured it out.
