This was an interesting and suspenseful psychological thriller! The titular unraveling refers to main character Meredith who starts to derail after getting inappropriately close to one of her patients... who just so happens to someone that she has a tragic connection to. The lines blur as Meredith can't help herself as she gets closer and closer and there's a lot more beneath the surface than anyone realizes. 

While Meredith wasn't always a likable character -- she does make some truly awful decisions -- her story was very interesting! She's dealing with her own grief and guilt but feels an intense connection to this man, and it was especially interesting from a psychiatrist's point of view. She knew what she was doing was wrong and was also finding pieces of herself in her patients. 

THE UNRAVELING was a little suspenseful and that suspense grew the further we got into this tangled web. I enjoyed the way that it was written and it got intense watching Meredith's story as this went further and further. I thought it was going to end a little too nicely and we got a nice thriller jab there at the end.
