I definitely recommend this to readers that like a bit of psycho in their thriller. ...more

Just because you think someone has a wonderful life from the outside doesn't mean it's true. Good book about the abuse of a woman that no one knew about or even suspected. ...more

Ending kinda felt abrupt after so much detail and dragging it out. But maybe that was just me wanting
