Great great, kept reading all night til I was done.
You can feel the emotions of the characters it’s so realistic.
This book started slowly, but before I knew it I was getting up to read in the middle of the night. It was like watching a train wreck in slow motion. Even when you know who did it, you still have no idea what’s coming!
What I didn’t like about this book was completely based on personal preferences and not worth downgrading the book at all. The story was entertaining and I didn’t want to put it down after a while. It was a lot of seemingly repetitive focus on Phoebe, but that was really just what the story was about. Though it would seem to be about what happened to Tommy, really it was about what happened to Phoebe and what she was going through. In that, it was really well done.
This book was OK. Maybe not the best book I’ve ever read, but it was entertaining enough and the reveal was not quite what I was expecting.
really drags on and characters not very sympathetic
Good read! Well written.
I enjoyed the character build-up, but there was way too much superfluous information. Couldn’t seem to really like any of the characters.
This was an excellent story once it got going. You never knew what was the truth till the end. Looking for more from this author.
One of the best books I’ve ever read!
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was a real page turner. Great book!
This book presented a realistic view of the struggles many mothers face
in attempting to fill the shoes of motherhood. It also portrays how a sick
mind can create such emotional havoc in parents
I’m sorry, I don’t think I’ve ever given a book only one star but this has got to be the most boring book I ever read – and truthfully, I barely read it, I zipped through it because it was so blasted boring. The story line was amazing but it dragged and dragged on and on about Phoebe until you wanted to scream. I should have just left it but, as I said, the story line was good and I was anxious to find out what happened in the end!
A compelling read, yet easy to follow. Somewhat unique story.
enjoyed
This book kept me ‘on my toes’ all the way through. I couldn’t help but feel a twist was coming. And it did. I enjoyed reading it.
This book was disturbing in many ways. You never quite know what is happening because not everything is as it seems. Definitely keeps you guessing.
Couldn’t put it down.
This book held my interest from beginning to end!
I stayed up 4 hours past my bedtime so I could finish this book. It was different from anything I’ve read.
