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.

As a rule, I enjoy domestic thrillers. I also thoroughly enjoyed B.A Paris’ other books. Unfortunately, this book is not one I enjoyed. Our main character is so stupid that it’s frustrating. This thriller includes an “OTT” (over-the-top twist), which I usually enjoy. This twist though was so unsurprising, that I just laughed when it was officially revealed.
The story is fast-paced and interesting until about 50% in. At that point, things started to drag, and I found myself caring less and less. BA Paris may be an author I have to put down for a while, as this simply wasn’t good.

Full review will be on my blog on August 27th, 2021.

DID NOT FINISH

DNF @ 51%
I’m...bored. I’m not invested and the writing style of the dialogue is making it worse.
