WOW WOW WOW! this is my new favorite of lisa jewell’s of all time!!! I don’t know how she keeps topping herself, but she does!!!!
I love a good ol psychological thriller with unreliable narrators, but boy, this one takes the cake! the writing style goes back and forth between a netflix true crime documentary (which is the most accurate written description of one I’ve ever read) and both alix and josie’s POVs. this kept the flow going so quickly!!!!
this was the perfect blend of psychological, creepy horror, and domestic thrillers 👏🏼 I’m completely obsessed with the pacing and the narration in this one
I did not believe a single one of these characters, and I loved every single second of it!! podcast-based thrillers are solely becoming my favorite type of mystery!! 🤯
while I know not everyone will be satisfied with the conclusion, I think lisa jewell was absolutely genius for it! and the plot twists? sis say less 🤌🏼
thank you to netgalley and atria for the advanced copy in exchange for an honest review!!
