Overall rating 3 / 5
This book was a quick thrill read that had me hooked from beginning to end. I was intrigued to find out who the ex was and how her character would evolve throughout the story. I always love a book with an unreliable narrator. However, I could have done without some of the side stories, Alice’s husband, that seemed to add nothing notable to the story.
A chapter or two from Natasha’s POV would have been fascinating or more from Sadie’s therapy sessions.
The narration by Ariel Lawhon was so well done. All the voices she was able to do for each character is commendable!
