Honestly, I'm not sure why this book has such a big following. It was a decent, fast read, but the storytelling felt a bit flat and clunky, with too much unnecessary detail in the narration and dialogue. The plot didn't offer anything new either. If you've read similar books like The Wife Upstairs or Verity, you might find this one predictable. The setup with the hot husband, troubled wife, and a younger woman entering the picture felt too familiar, and I could see where it was going from the start without much suspense.

None of the characters really stood out to me. Nina felt selfish, Millie overly flirty, and Andrew, well, clearly not someone I'd want to know. Enzo was okay, but he didn't have a strong presence in the story. There were some interesting aspects, like the idea of the husband's behavior being influenced by his mother, but I wished the book delved deeper into this aspect with more backstory.

If you're new to mysteries or thrillers, this book might be a decent starting point, but for seasoned fans of the genre, it might fall flat. I'd rate it somewhere between 2 and 3 stars.
