Lisa Jewell has been hit or miss for me so I wasn’t quite sure what I was going to think of this book, but I really liked it! It kept a good pace for me and the three different POVs kept things interesting right off the bat. There were some really surprising twists at the end and it was interesting to learn about halfway through that one of the narrators was unreliable. Only thing that kept this from being five stars is that the very last chapter felt very unfinished and still left a lot to question about the character. Otherwise, another great thriller from Lisa Jewell!
