Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for giving me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
2.5 stars, rounded up. This is hard to explain how I felt about it. It was fast-paced, much like many domestic thrillers are. I wanted to know what happened badly enough that I continued reading it. Yet, I never felt too stressed about what was happening. There was never a moment where I had any kind of genuine reaction to what was happening. Even when things came to a peak, the resolution was so...tame that I didn't know how to feel. Sure, I appreciate that our main characters were understanding of mental health but...otherwise, this wasn't really a satisfying plot to read.
