This was an interesting concept, mostly because it was a psychological thriller where there was no clear 'whodunit': you know, practically even from the blurb, who is responsible. And yet, there are still some great twists and turns, and some moments that catch you by surprise. I'm not sure I'd say it had many complete jaw-dropping moments, as some of the major reveals I did somewhat suspect, but it was still really enjoyable. I also enjoyed that it somewhat played with perceptions of victimhood, in a way.
