I devoured Lisa Jewell's latest novel in a single sitting; it was truly unputdownable! The narrative offered a thrillingly dark and twisted experience—imagine "Dirty John" taken to the extreme! The story unfolds through multiple perspectives over several years, and I can easily envision it being adapted into a Netflix miniseries. This is a must-read!

(3.5 rounded up) I’ve read 3 Lisa Jewell books now, including this one, and all 3 left me with different feelings. I thought Watching You was a page-turner with a lot of twists that I forgot about pretty quickly. Then, None of This is True was pacey and plotty and I was enjoying myself until the ending, which I found awful and honestly offensive. I can’t say much without risking spoilers, but it felt extremely problematic when I read it. This one was much more successful to me. It reads more like a thriller, in my opinion. There are different storylines weaving together involving different women in different circumstances, all centered around one very bad man. There is a mystery over a death and also a mystery of how exactly these women are linked and what this central man has done in totality, but this wasn’t as twisty as the other two books in her oeuvre that I’ve read. I read this quickly and enjoyed my time with it.
