Although I think this would technically be a domestic thriller, it read more like a romance in some places and thriller in others. The transition between the two wasn’t exactly seamless and that was my major turnoff with this book. 

I did not expect the ending and fell right into the default assumptions. I do think the author did a perfect job of lining up the clues with the resolution. Overall, I think it was a decent thriller/romance and would still recommend it. 

Thank you to NetGalley for my ARC
