I went from being at a solid 3 star rating up until over 80% through the audiobook when for a moment I truly believed I would be leaving a 1 star review. I ended up with such relief that a particularly unwanted outcome did not happen, that my rating shot back up. I also was excited that I was right about the main culprit, yet while I understand how many people say the twists were predictable, I questioned myself just enough to worry it was going to go in a direction I did not want as there were obvious red herons where some made 0 sense but others had relevance.

I really liked this! I think the multiple perspectives was done really well. I totally loved seeing how the different characters interpreted the same situations based on the context they had. (I.E.
Nina thinking Lily is acting strange due to her pregnancy, not the fact that she may have killed her husband
). 
I was definitely tense and anxious as I was reading the story unfold! It was hard for me to put this down. The twist was a little bit different and interesting and it definitely did not cross my mind for one second before it was revealed. The ending did feel a little bit rushed and left some unanswered questions.
