Long drawn out limp noodle. No plot twists, minimal surprises at the end (that are not shocking and very believable due to prior events). I felt like this book could have been edited down to 1 chapter. Many missed opportunity to throw in a twist or have the plot become twisty and thick. The only reason I kept listening through this 12hr audiobook was because I wanted to know what happened to them and then the ending was such a disappointment.

Holy crap???? It’s definitely slow at first, but I believe it was building up to that moment. Loved how the author did different perspectives on the characters that was leading up to that moment!

This is the second miss by Lisa Jewell for me this year. This was a slow-burn, and there was also a lot going on throughout the story, and also too many characters, so it made it hard to follow what was going on and who I was reading about when. I also accidentally saw a spoiler earlier on, so I knew what to expect and that took the mystery and thrill out of the book for me. I also found the characters unlikeable, which also took me out of the story. I almost DNFed this several times but wanted to see it through for the purpose of finishing more books this month, as I've only finished two so far. Hopefully this doesn't put me in a reading slump. 😑
