This was my first Gregg Olsen book. And I’m not sure if he was intentionally making these characters so so unlikeable and misogynistic or if there’s something going on here. I can usually tell when the author’s goal is for us to not like a character.
I did like the altering perspectives and there were a few twists that I found interesting. I also kind of liked the last chapter with Adam, and it really kind of highlighted the crux of his character.
But overall I would not recommend this book.

I promise it’s better to go into reading this book without knowing a lot. It’s much better that way!
