I still don’t believe Kacey is dead. Also idk about Simon being the murderer either unless he’s working with the guy who keeps knocking on Mickey’s apartment. Orr maybe that guy is actually good and is with kacey trying to make contact? Sooo sad to hear that Simon had other young women he prayed on and clearly still is.

The Thomas story line in this book gives me so much joy and heartbreak every time. His happiness at his birthday and at Lauren’s solidarity made my heart sing and then the Simon debacle devastated me. He is a disgusting piece of shit. Onto baby mumma child bride number 3! I doubt it will happen in the book but I hope Lauren and Mick become friends. Also WHO has been visiting her apartment?? Eeekk

God this is getting good

How did I only just click that Simon her mentor is Simon Thomas’s dad!! Sooo soo disappointed that the one wholesome thing she had in her life also turns out to be rotten

Really enjoying this I like that it isn’t a crazy thriller that I can’t put down because there’s more depth to it. Obsessed with Thomas what a good kid

I’m going to predict now and cross fingers that I think Kacey is somewhere safe!

Had to note here that I LOVE the idea of the police run after school care that focussed on homework, sport and good behaviour. Wondering if they really exist. PRAYING nothing sinister comes of it as it sounds like the most wholesome and stable part of their childhood which the girls needed.

This is such a great combination of mystery and literary fiction

Slow burn but I know I’m going to like this one
