an enjoyable and quick read because you let yourself be immersed in the story. it's in all honesty, a real page turner. i would still give a content warning for explicit self-harm.

Spoiler it reminded me of big little lies (if anyone saw that show) and i quite enjoyed that vibe that being said, i am not quite satisfied with the ending, i think some plotwist were quite weak or at least poorly executed. i didn't mind that all the women were somehow connected to will slater but it was, at least for hannah and aoife (especially aoife) poorly written. Also, i am not quite satisfied with the ending, as it reminded me of big little lies, i think i would liked it better if at the end all the wronged women confronted will and killed him as group


in any case, i would recommend if you like thrillers :)
