This had been an impulse grocery store aisle buy. It sounded great a thriller about a daughter trying to kill her mom, sort of Gillian Flynn style was my impression when I read the back.
I really liked the book, the premise and story line was great. I loved the dynamic between the Mom Suzette and the daughter Hannah. I loved how devious Hannah was, yet still had an air of innocence. Alex seemed like a clueless shmuck, which fed right into Hannah’s plans. What I don’t like was some of Suzette’s vulgarity around sex with Alex, and some of the sex scenes. I’m not opposed to sex in a novel, it is part of life, but I felt like the scenes were put in more for shock factor than to further the storyline. They seemed abrupt and poorly placed, and when they appeared they pulled me out of the story, which broke the magic for me. But other than that it was really well written and a page turner for sure.
