I will be completely honest, I did not love this book and it did not read as a psychological thriller to me at all. It started off confusing, I had no idea what the plot was supposed to be. Not even half way through the book, I figured out what was going to happen. And on top of it all, most of the characters were annoying and something was always off with them. I did really enjoy the concept for it to be a thriller or mystery but I don’t think the execution was there.
Graphic: Death, Gun violence, Grief, and Murder
Moderate: Alcoholism, Child death, Domestic abuse, Blood, Death of parent, and Injury/Injury detail
