    I was hooked on this story from day one

    It’s so well written and keeps you engrossed and wanting to know what’s going to happen next, who’s connected to whom, who these 3 women are....

    Honestly? I did guess who Elle and Nora were about 40% of the way through. But it just made the story more compelling....what were they going to do next, how were they going to explain everything?

    There could be a trigger warning for people in or affected by abusive relationships, psychologically and emotionally.

    I’m definitely recommending this book to anyone who wants it. 5 star read and probably the most compelling read so far of 2020
