Simply brilliant. The storytelling, the pacing, the intrigue… everything about this book was brilliant.

It’s a story told with two point of views. Livvy and Anna, 2 women who are going through different experiences, but whose lives become interconnected in a very unnerving way.

Not to give anything away, I suspected several chapters into the book what the connection between the two women was, but that didn’t prevent me from enjoying the process of finding out how.

And that’s what a good story does, it pulls you in.
Even if you guess what the ending would be, you want to find out how everyone deals with discovering the truth.

Another thing I loved about the story is how the author highlights how emotional abuse of a partner can be equally as devastating as physical abuse.

Something quite a number of people don’t get.

In my country, Nigeria, I’ve heard some narratives where a husband or wife isolates their spouse from friends and family, stops the from working, from their pursuing their independence.

Some people don’t think that kind of marriage is dangerous.

“He doesn’t hit you, so what’s the problem?”
That question should stop being asked.

If anyone feels unsafe, physically or mentally in a relationship, it is abuse. Simple.

Anyway, I digress.
This was a wonderfully told story.

I highly recommend!
