This was a quick and awesome read. It totally had me guessing and was great at the suspense. The twist came out of left field and completely wowed me. I'm a fan.

Novels with epistolary writing are totally my jam. Having this one be from both husband and wife point of view, plus the inclusion of written letters was awesome. I really enjoyed how that was set up.

The writing was really good and the pacing was totally on point. My only complaint about this one is the ending. The actual ending was great. The epilogue kind of ruined things a little for me. It didn't necessarily spoil the book, but it wasn't really necessary and I think it killed the high I had from what I consider to be the ending.

Will I read Alice Feeney again? ABSO-FREAKING-LUTELY. I love her writing style and the subtlety with which she writes. Her characters are great, totally unreliable, and often unlikable. I seriously enjoy them.

This one is a win in my book.
