Good book! This book had suspense, intrigue, and quite a few crazy twists that I did not see coming!! The storyline was very interesting and had me glued to my Kindle! I will definitely recommend reading this book as it was well worth reading! Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!

I read this fast-paced thriller in one day. This book is heavily plot-based yet the characters have enough backstory and depth that they don’t feel like caricatures or placeholders. The book goes back and forth between two points of view, Andrea’s and Gabby’s who live across the street from one another. Extremely early in the book there’s a hint of part of what’s to come. However, it’s not the full story. Combine one unreliable narrator (which one I will leave you to find out), red herrings, and clues and you’ve got yourself a fun ride of a book.

There were only a couple times I went “huh?” to myself. Once I felt a sentence spoken by an American wasn’t said the way an American would actually say it. The author is Australian and the book takes place there. Another time I noticed an inconsistency with a piece of paperwork that should have set alarm bells off but didn’t.
