The people in this book are messy! There is so much drama and unnecessary emotional manipulation that only harms all of them. This book is a great example and cautionary tale of how keeping secrets and getting even is a bad idea when it comes to personal/private relationships and how it will only continue to hurt you later on down the road. Having said that, this book had me on the edge of my seat trying to figure out how it all pieced together to make an extremely dysfunctional and messy family situation. I was so tense while listening to parts of this book because I was so afraid something was going to happen to one of the children involved in it. Nicole Marsh is such a good storyteller and keeps all these different pov's and relationship pieced together in an easy-to-understand manner even though they were all intertwined and extremely messy! 


If you want a book that is going to take you a while to unravel and figure out because of all the different characters, then this book is for you. It wasn't super scary on the thriller portion, but it will still have you on the edge of your seat!
