Reviewed by Danielle BergThank you netgalley and publisher for opportunity to read and provide my honest feedback on this book. This is not my first time reading this authors work and I’ve enjoyed every one so far. This book is marked as mystery/thriller but I do feel it was more of a domestic drama. I didn’t feel like there was a lot of thriller in the story but I was invested with the characters. I enjoyed them all and the flow of the story progressed well and was easy to follow and get through. Overall I’d recommend this book to others.
