I liked this one pretty well because it kept me guessing. These characters are the definition of unreliable narrators, so you never quite know what is going on. A lot of these kind of books can feel very formulaic, but I didn’t think that was the case with this when. I would recommend to friends!

Steven Rowley is a must read author for me! He has such wonderful characters. This is excellent for those that love stories about lifelong friends. This was a Read with Jenna Book.

Thanks to G.P. Putnam's Sons and NetGalley for the advanced digital copy of the book.

Lisa Jewell is one of the craziest writers I've ever read. Every time I read one of her books I'm appalled and intrigued. When I'm done reading her books I always think, what did I just read? Her writing is eccentric and alluring, I finished this one and still don't know what to believe/ what happened. I liked the creepy music in the audio

I have to admit that I didn’t love this book. I saw so many people raving about its wild plot, and to say I was underwhelmed would be an understatement. To be fair, I have never been a big fan of Lisa Jewell’s writing style or character development. These preferences may have impacted my enjoyment of this title. Overall, I wanted/expected more based on the reviews I read beforehand.

Thrillers gonna thriller! This had me completely sucked in from the beginning. I guessed a number of the twists but loved the little surprises. I LOVED THE AUDIO! Like can’t imagine how you could read the physical book, loved it. The full cast was unreal so good. If you like thrillers, you’ll like this one. If you don’t (me) then you still might. Only complaint is that the ending went on for like 30+ minutes.

I typically don’t read suspense books, but the description was intriguing so I gave it a try. WOW. Immediately hooked, Jewell did an amazing job of hooking the readers and taking you through a wild ride.

I was SURE everyone was dead at some point in this book.
And that is a COMPLIMENT.
Lisa Jewell is a staple.

I'm a big fan of Lisa Jewell but this one definitely was a little twisted and had me more uncomfortable than I have been in the past. The ending is the best part though.

I enjoyed this one a lot! I knew I would from reading previous books from this author! There is so much left unfinished and I would love to see if everything was a lie or the truth! However, I loved it regardless!

Love everything by Lisa Jewell and this was no different! Thank you so much for the opportunity to read this ARC! Lisa is one of my favorite authors and she is an immediate buy for me!

This is a fun mystery that is less about major reveals than it is about the looming danger approaching Alix and her family. Love the rising tension, though it wasn't particularly surprisng. If you're a Lisa Jewell fan, you'll love it.

So good! Unique and refreshing take on the "podcast" thriller trope. I have never read a Lisa Jewell i didnt like! She continues to bring a unique new plot to every thriller.

I got this book last year and didn’t get a chance to read it before pub day. I ended up adding it to my #backlistbooks24 challenge because I knew I wanted to read it this year.
The timing worked out perfectly because the main characters are birthday twins who turn 45 in June. I just turned 45 in June, the week I was reading it! I didn’t realize this was the central part of the plot until I started the book.
At first, it was a little slow as the characters are getting introduced, but it quickly got interesting when creepy weird things started getting revealed. I feel like thrillers are the type of books where it’s better to say less when reviewing. I’ll just say that I eventually was hooked and couldn’t wait to find out what was the deal. Of course this is a thriller, so there are some heavy topics, but this one does include some underage concerns (not present day). If you’re a fan of domestic thrillers, Lisa Jewell, or suspense involving women in their 40s, check this one out for sure.
4.5 stars

I'm a big Lisa Jewell fan and this book was no exception. It was a fresh take on what we think of as inappropriate relationships and how sometimes and parent really can't control a child.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for granting me free access to the advanced digital copy of this book.
Lisa Jewell is a genius! I didn't see any of that coming.

I’m not sure I’ve ever read a book with a crazier character than Josie. This was a quick read that kept me on the edge of my seat. While there obviously aren’t an abundance of happy endings in the book, most things were wrapped up neat and tight. There are others I would’ve preferred were wrapped up, but I understand why the story needed to end that way. If you’re looking for something to pull you in, keep you guessing and turning the pages as quickly as possible, would definitely recommend this book.

Good twisty book. I recommend. Lisa Jewell is the queen of thrillers. Look forward to her next book.

As a fan of Lisa Jewel I was intrigued and interested until the end. I don’t want to spoil anything, so I’ll be vague; but I think too much was done to try and add layers of complexity last minute. Most of the book was spent building towards one conclusion, and at the last minute a shallow “alternative” is thrown out with the expectation that readers are supposed to bite. Not my favorite novel of hers, but I still look forward to what she writes in the future.

Thank you NetGalley and publisher for this ARC.

This was my first Lisa Jewell book. I will be reading more of her books for sure!

Fast paced, thrilling, dark, but oh so good!

There are triggers in this book so be aware.
From the start I wanted to race to the end to figure out what was happening and how this book was going to wrap up. My jaw was on the floor most of the time reading this!

Such a good shocker! Definitely not a quiet read!
