The thriller that I so desperately needed right now!
As I am extremely far behind on Reese's book club, but book by book, I am slowly catching up. This book gave me pains inside of my chest. The extreme parts made me feel as if I was watching those 90's action movies. I'm talking The Fugitive, Double Jeopardy, wait...anything Tommy Lee.. Well that's for another social media outlet on my love for 90's Action movies. This book is amazing. If you have an audible credit and want an experience, I highly reccomend.

The positives: good sentence structure, liked the voice overall. Decent pace. The negatives: characters not well developed. Irrelevant storylines that have no conclusions. The complete switch for the husband? Didn’t make any sense. The author gave me no reason to care about the protagonist. The ending? What???? I almost stopped reading 3 times. Only finished because we were to discuss at book club.
