DNF - I’m going to go ahead and take a look at the ending later, just to see if my assumptions were correct. I’m just not enjoying the story, though. Know that I am definitely of the minority here! I loved The Family Upstairs, which was my first read by Lisa Jewell, and I’ll definitely check out more of her work. This one just didn’t work out for me.
I really wanted to give this one four and a half stars. It was predictable in a few ways. However, the writing style was great and I just enjoyed reading it. I cried at the end.
3.5
100% predictable. Figured it out before 100 pages
