holy shit… i don’t even know where to start with this book. first of all, just the amount of twists and turns and different ways that I thought this book was gonna go and none of them was what actually happened. I still don’t even know what I think the truth actually is. if you can, I recommend listening to this on audiobook so hard it is such an immersive experience and this book is perfect on audiobook and it really gives you the full experience that I don’t know if I would’ve gotten if I physically read it. Overall this was an amazing read!!!

0.25 off because a pedophile is a pedophile not matter the twist

This had my jaw on the floor many times. Somebody order a wellness check for Lisa Jewel because her mind is just 🤯

This book was an absolute rollercoaster. I mean this in the best way possible. From the get go, there were so many sprinkles of moments that had me questioning and trying to understand. I absolutely loved this book because it felt like the author was constantly keeping me on my toes! I also loved that not all of the twists were at the very end, like a lot of mystery/thriller books. It also was a book that keeps you guessing until the very end, and even the end of the book there’s still so many questions. I won’t spoil anything, but this is definitely a must read. If you’re a fan of Verity, this is definitely your next read! I can’t wait to read more from this author!!!
