This book was so good.
This book was so good it made me realize my biases. In the beginning I was totally on Charlie’s side and against Rachel, and then when we found out that it was Charlie all along all the pieces came together and you could really see how he’s an abuser. This book manipulated me into realizing my bias, and made me realize I immediately blamed the woman and supported the man. I felt so bad for Rachel, and she’s such a good mom. I was really sad that ash and bel don’t date, I think they were cute, and ig it wouldn’t have worked at this time, but i hope they do date. Overall this was a great book.

This book was so interesting and nuanced. It is absolutely not a romance though (don't think it was intended to be). It puts a really interesting perspective on old dynamics among the upper class, a new variation on mystery, and the way it is narrated makes it even more interesting.

This book was pretty interesting, there were some things I didn’t enjoy but overall it was pretty good, and sad. The ending was pretty predictable
