I want to preface this by saying I read "The Maidens" before I read this and this author really likes therapy lol. The vibes honestly felt really similar to me even though the stories were different, which isn't bad I guess, but did make me feel like it could've been written better. I found the main plot of this book kinda boring and slow at times but I had fun trying to figure out what the twist would be. As with the other book, I could not guess the twist! I love a good double plot twist moment, or when you think you know what's happening but you are totally wrong. Due to the action towards the end I bumped up my rating, overall still a good read.
