I think I heard about this on a podcast? Read now to chip away at older additions to my TBR (added in 2018), consumed on audio. I was avoiding actually reading this even though it intrigued me because I kept reading the jacket-copy which felt spoiler-y to me, and figured I'd wait until I forgot it, but I did not.
I found this book engaging, and the back-and-forth chapters alternating narrators worked well. The "reveal" isn't much of a surprise, but the fallout and how social dynamics shift as a result was interesting enough that I wasn't really looking for this to be a "suspenseful" novel (as it seems to have been marketed as)
Would recommend to those interested in the premise, I personally wish I'd read this instead of listened-- the narrators do a great job, but I like to do this sort of narrative via kindle/ paper to be able to sit with things a bit.
CW: Sexual Assault, Cancer, Death of a Parent, Miscarriage but none have overly detailed descriptions
