A dark and truly twisted thriller that is unputdownable. This book tells the story of a woman in a coma in hospital who is semi conscious of what's going on around her. We also see flashbacks of the events leading up to her being in hospital and some childhood diary entries.
This story is full of suspicious characters and will keep you guessing who is telling the truth right to the end. It brings us through the complexities of family relationships and the lasting effects of childhood traumas.
A true page turner.

This was stressful as hell (tw: infertility and miscarriage, sexual assault) but I enjoyed it too. Told from the POV of a woman in a coma, it flips back and forth in time to the days leading up to a car accident and a traumatic event (think SWF) when she and her best friend were young. 

I can't wait for the next one. I think it especially helps that Stephanie Racine reads her audiobooks.

This one was just okay for me. Some of the twists didn’t really make sense. Or they just felt like twists for the sake of being twists. I think it got a bit confusing trying to follow the storyline and characters.
