I was definitely interested and didn’t want to put the book down. There were a few loose ends that I wish were tied up at the end

like what was the deal with Cassandra blaming Meredith for her husband’s infidelity? I feel like that didn’t add anything to the plot. Also, I wish it was revealed that Marty and Shelby were having an affair, it would have made sense.

the reveal at the end was good but not crazy shocking.

This was just a bummer read. I recognize it wasn’t going to happy because it was a thriller, but the storylines were just a hard read.

Was enjoyable, wish some things were explored more rather than quickly wrapped up at the end.

2.0

the writing and pacing of this novel was terrible. every sentence was incredibly over-saturated with mundane details, with the author unnecessarily spelling absolutely everything out to the reader. the last 10% of this novel is where the plot twists come in and where things pick up pace…yet the plot twists are actually just plot holes. they didn’t make logical sense. overall an unsatisfactory story/reveal coupled with mediocre writing.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 Half way through the book I was suspecting everyone, that’s when you know it’s good. You have absolutely no clue how it’s going to end and you can’t put it down. I loved the different perspectives across different time lines. This book is incredibly well written and the plot is revealed in the perfect order and timing.
