I generally enjoy Megan Miranda novels and I am so pleased that this one didn't miss the mark for me! I haven't read a ton of thrillers, but I did feel that this one had a unique premise and that is what initially had me hooked and anticipating this story. I enjoyed how there were transcripts and clues from her childhood trauma woven into the present day story.

This book had strong pacing. I didn't want to put it down at times! Even though I was only able to read this in small chunks due to life circumstances, there were lots of places to stop and put a book mark! I always appreciate that!

I liked Olivia/Arden's character a lot. I appreciated that she was a strong female who wasn't relying on a man to rescue her. She did not come across as a damsel in distress at all, thank goodness! She has always fought her own battles and made her own way since leaving her childhood home.

I did want more from this book. I felt the secondary characters were lacking in detail and they could have been more rounded and fuller of characters. I also felt like there were some gaps in the ending - missing details, or just a gap in my own understanding of how all the ends wove together.
A very enjoyable thriller that wasn't too traumatic, gory, or triggering. I bet thriller fans would call it tame!
