I thought the pace of the story was pretty good. The one thing that rubbed me the wrong way is how Erika describes her son, Liam and the fact that she is quick to assume things. Besides this, I thought that this book was pretty good, overall. I also did not expect the way things ended up in the end. I was led to believe one way but then when I came around to the plot twist, I was taken aback. That part was completely unexpected.zoedonn's review against another edition

I’m yet to read the popular ones, I think the most popular one out of the ones I’ve read is either this one or the The Locked Door.
This would have been a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ read for me if it wasn’t for the last paragraph, didn’t find this plot twist unnecessary as it was nicely wrapped up for a standalone novel. However, do not let it deter you, it was still a great mystery that I did NOT see coming at all.
I maybe partial to enjoying this book as I’m a Mother to a son and whilst I certainly wouldn’t have done everything Erica did, I can understand her love, dedication and loyalty to Liam, the whole unconditional love…it made me question, what are you prepared to do for your children?
A must read Freida McFadden book.
