This book is an absolute page-turner, keeping me on the edge with a myriad of revelations and numerous plot twists. The narrative unfolds through two distinct points of view and timelines, featuring Maggie and Nina in both the present and a past set twenty years ago.
The plot twists are masterfully executed, making the guessing game a thrilling experience. The dual perspectives and timelines add complexity, and you will find yourself eagerly anticipating the resolution of their hypotheses.
The writing style is commendable, blending realism with the fictional element, portraying two intricately messed-up characters—Maggie, the protective yet enigmatic mother, and Nina, the daughter with her complex perceptions. The tension during their shared dinners adds to the suspense, keeping readers on the edge of their seats.
The characters, while realistic, contribute to an overall story that might stretch the bounds of reality, but the gripping narrative compensates for any such concerns. The depiction of a disturbed mother-daughter relationship and the unrevealed secrets adds depth to the storyline.
In summary, this book is a solid 5-star read. It manages to captivate without a dull moment or any disappointments. If you enjoy thrillers with complex characters, this is a highly recommended choice. However, it comes with trigger warnings for drug use, miscarriage, parental death, abandonment, and mentions of child abuse, so be cautious if you have sensitivities to these themes.
