A thriller that wasn’t actually all that thrilling.
So this book is marketed as a thriller and I guess it could be considered that, but I was never on the edge of my seat. Not that the book was bad. I did enjoy reading about the friendship and lives of the three women involved and there were certainly twists and turns throughout the story.
The book switches between past and present, first and third person, and narrators. Surprisingly, none of that bothered me. It was clearly done, and the voices of the narrators were different enough that confusion was not an issue. I do think perhaps it was a bit overdone and slightly unnecessary but it didn’t take away from my enjoyment of the book.
The story kept me engaged, and the pace was great, but I wanted a little more mystery.
