3.0
A very sensitive and possibly triggering novel about obessive, abuse, stalking, and terrible relationships. The MFC has been through it all and want to forget the pass but the past is now back to haunt her.
A fast wild ride that was all of the place. The author wrote the MFC as being mixed race but the details about her hair and color seemed forced and written in an unauthentic way, cringe worthy.
The novel had a lot of twists and turns but a times the storyline was annoying as in all the characters acted in childish or unrealistic manners. The husband actions seemed misplaced and rushed with no background to that relationship.
I would recommend to a novice thriller reader.
Thanks netgallery for the ARC!
