I received an ARC, thanks to NetGalley and Penguin Group Dutton.  

It was hard for me to get into this story at first- the inciting incident doesn’t take place until you’re 1/3 into the novel- but once the plot really picked up its pace, I couldn’t put it down.  

There are several themes explored, including mental health, generational trauma, loyalty, and mother/daughter relationships.   At times, I felt there may be too much happening within the story, but it all came together nicely in the end.  The twist at the end was not what I had been expecting, which is always appreciated in a thriller.
This is one I won’t be able to get out of my head!
