Oh goodness.. this book was a mess! I went into this book with high expectations because of booktok and bookstagram; and I’m honestly kind of disappointed. It wasn’t my favourite read but it wasn’t awful, it was a fast paced read and had good character development which helped to drive the plot.

The characters were all truly unlikeable and I pretty much despised them. Alison… what an absolute mess, I had no sympathy for her at all and it’s so glaringly obvious that she’s an alcoholic in denial. There were some times I felt a little sympathetic to her cos she was really trying to be a better mum. Carl… honestly husband from hell, constantly picking holes and being vile to Alison.. no wonder she had an affair. Patrick.. disgustingly awful and misogynistic.

The author did a good job of making me feel incredibly uncomfortable and frustrated throughout the book.. I really did not enjoy the ending of the book, it felt abit rushed and I was actually pretty confused for a abit. Overall, it was an okay read, not my favourite.
