what a fun and twisty debut thriller!! 🖤 I love when I’m utterly consumed by the mystery (and yes I binged this one in a day)

kelsey cox created a wonderful cast of unreliable narrators, from the ex wife to the current wife to the best friend to the nanny to the daughter’s friend… they were all so well fleshed out & holding their own secrets that I was desperate to see how the pieces all fit together at the end

and boy, was I shocked! it takes a lot to surprise me with mysteries these days, and while I did guess some of the twists, there were a few secrets that had me GAGGED 🤯 I loved how it all played out, slowly revealing the characters’ fates in a dual timeline POV rather than a typical linear timeline 

thank you minotaur for the gifted advanced copy! this one’s a perfect read for july!!!
