By the middle you can get an idea of what happened to Grace, but there’s still plenty of twists that keep you on the edge of your seat. 

Really puts into perspective who you want to be around your kids.

It’s been awhile since I’ve read a suspense/thriller, let alone Lisa Jewell. I’ve always loved this author but this story was not one of my favorites. The characters were well developed but the excitement/thrill of the story was quite low. I did really enjoy all the background information provided on the characters and how it allowed for multiple people to be side-eyed. I enjoyed the ending - which is all I will say otherwise I will spoil it. If you’re going to check out Lisa Jewell, don’t start with this book! This story does not do her justice.
