Was not a fan of the multiple timelines and POV. Great book though and everything comes together.

I really really liked this book! Until the end :/ I think I wanted something a bit juicier or scarier or idk, something (!) with the two big reveals ??? 

I really liked the non-linear storytelling and the different narrators, I thought it was a good way to add to the confusion of a missing persons case that is also connected to a prior scandal also. 

Liz Moore’s ability to describe not only accurately, but devastatingly, how a mother feels when so achingly tied to her son is amazing; it made me tear up hearing about the psychological torment Alice was put through by these rich mf. Rip bear & rip Alice’s sanity and autonomy.


I also appreciated the common thread of the abuses of power by the wealthy families, and the men in the story too. I felt that it was realistically frustrating.
