This was just so so clever and brilliantly written, it was poignant and believable completely keeps you guessing right to the last page. I related so much to the characters and felt bereft by certain parts of the book, one of her best for sure

I really enjoyed this book......until the last 1/4. It is very well written and the way the characters are written genuinely give me chills however this was let down a little by the end. The ending felt rushed, chaotic and not complete. With that I mind I have dropped a star however it is a good read and well worth your time

One of the best thrillers I've read in a long time. It's a story of Alix, a wife/mum with a lovely home, decent children and a loved husband who occasionally goes on a bender with his mates and doesn't return until the next day. She is well known for her podcasts and is asked to do a podcast by Josie, a wife/mum from a completely different background, on her life. The characters are so well developed that you soon fear for the safety of Alix. If I had read a paperback instead of an ebook I would have sneaked a look at the final chapter to see who survives. However when you think you've got to the end and the truth there is a final twist which complicates the story even further. Great read.

It’s a good book Unique storyline But it took a while to get into, it wasn’t a page turner until the last quarter Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed it, but it won’t make my top 100 books of all time, maybe my top 500 So worth a read but not top marks

Such a fantastic read with very well rounded and believable characters and a twisty turny plot that keeps you guessing. An absolute belter

Josie is a disappointed 40-something who lives with her 70-something retired husband, Walter, in a claustrophobic flat with their 23 year old autistic daughter, Erin. Roxy, Josie's elder daughter ran away years ago and hasn't been seen since. Josie runs into Alix, a wealthy blogger, when they are both coincidentally celebrating their mutual birthday at a plush restaurant. Josie presuades Alix to make a blog of Josie's life. It appears that Josie is an abused wife who was seduced by a middle-age man from when she was 13. Walter is accused of abusing Erin to this day. Alix is married to a wealthy property dealer, Nathan, who is prone to disappearing on day-long drinking binges. Josie decides that she must 'liberate' Alix from Nathan. The machinations of the plot are intricate but fairly predictable. The narrative is pretty slow moving throughout and the prose style is, in my view, unpolished. The psychological explorations of Josie and Alix are good, though their mental makeup is often buried under a lot of unnecessary 'setting detail'. A decent book but ultimately i was rather disappointed, given the accolades the book has attracted.

This book was part of our selection, it was crazy read all the way, through, and in all layers lies some truth, of which I'm not certain. It certainly was a page turner, and kept me holding on. Great Read!!

I've been struggling with reading in the past years, but this book makes me want to read more Lisa Jewell ones! The plot is quite predictable, you know what is happening, yet you still are eager to find out how exactly it'll happen and how the characters will live through it. I enjoyed this read.
