First book by Jennifer Hillier and I really enjoyed it!!
“You know what it's like having a child? ... It's like your heart walking out the door on two legs, vulnerable and unprotected. It's scary as hell.”
I loved her writing style it was very easy to read and the book was fast-paced. (the contents of the book weren't easy to read, but the writing style made it a bit easier)
“I've learned not to make comparisons. Hell is hell, in all it's incarnations.”
I guessed the twist a bit early on into the book but that didn't ruin the reading experience. The only reason I guessed the twist was because, remember the part where Marin got a tiny suspicion of Sadie but then she quickly dismissed it? and I remember thinking if she can suspect Sadie what about Sal? Coz the way he was acting was pretty sus.
I am the eldest of 7 and I have seen the fears my mom and dad always have when we go out in public/crowded places. (which is prob why we don't go out a lot lol) And this book went into more depth about how it is to lose a child and it was so haunting to read about.
“Love is unpredictable, and love hurts. Trust is reliable, dependable, and solid. ”
I loved the representation in the book we got characters of various ethnic minorities and skin colors which I don't see in a lot of thrillers and I really appreciated it here.
The book definitely lives up to all its hype and this is the perfect book to get you out of a slump: it's fast-paced and gripping what more can you ask for?
