Okay so I like the novel so far but it is a bit slow to get the mystery... dont get me wrong I enjoy the writing style but it isnt as suspenseful as Birthday Girl. I actually am finding myself empathizing with Neve which i guess is unusual given the comments ive read so far about this book! Kit just seems emotionally abusive, toxic & controlling, and I will atleast admit Neve's moral compass is definitely a bit off

So far so good! I am definitely enjoying it right now!

Unnecessarily disturbing. Needs tw for physical and mental child abuse, death (the killing) of multiple toddlers, extreme mental illness, body image issues & post-partum depression. I hated how it portrayed women as either perfect housewives or incapable abusers.. I did not care for graphic depictions of how much Blythe found her body, not just not beautiful, but physically disgusting because she had a baby.

So far very very dark and upsetting. It is raw and makes you look at the truly dark but honest parts about humanity, motherhood, and relationships. At first I despised Blythe, but now I am starting to really hate Fox and Violet. I am never feeling indifferent which is a positive.

Love it so far! I love the way Lapena writes dialogue between the characters, something about it is so satisfying to me, there is a good flow

Did not see that coming but I shouldve ! Love the way this author writes

Love this so far! I find Shari's writing so satisfying to read, not sure what it is but the paragraph length, the level of descriptiveness... it is very calming for me to read
