I figured out the majority of the plot about halfway through but there it was still a tiny twist at the end I wasn’t expecting and it was so good I read it in a day. Honestly such a good thriller. I don’t like the cheating trope, even in situations like these, so that irritated me. The writing style was good and it was easy to follow also.
