Mind Blown 🤯

​I walked into this one expecting a straightforward serving of teenage angst, coming-of-age hurdles, and the classic "17-year-old vs. parents" drama. Instead, Mary Kubica handed me a high-speed thriller that left me questioning my own detective skills.
​The Structure:
The story is told through dual timelines and perspectives: Reese, the oldest daughter, and her Aunt Courtney. This "double-vision" approach is brilliant—it slowly stacks layers of suspicion until the tension is almost unbearable.
​The Highlights:
​The Suspicion: I’ll admit it: I thought the "bad guy" was literally every single character except the actual murderer. Kubica is the queen of red herrings; she leads you down a path, lets you get comfortable, and then pulls the rug out.
​The Family Core: What I loved most was the nuanced look at family dynamics. On the surface, it looks like they’re at each other's throats, but the narrative reveals they’re really just navigating a difficult "season of life." It felt authentic rather than just dramatic for the sake of drama.
​The Social Commentary: There is a chillingly accurate look at how younger children view social media and strangers. It’s a sobering reminder of how a small joke or a "harmless" prank can snowball into a devastating, life-altering mistake.
​The Verdict:
A total rollercoaster of emotions. It’s informative, suspenseful, and a little bit heartbreaking. If you enjoy domestic thrillers that actually make you think about the "why" behind the "who," put this on your TBR immediately.

Disappointing

Wasn't a fan. Was excited to read this but it was really boring at times.

All the twists and turns

The story kept me guessing and the ending was a real stunner! A great listen.

A good mystery with an excellent narration

This story is good. I liked it, but it wasn't a wow. I was interested in finding out what happened to the girl and her family, but I didn't find any of the characters especially likable. The final chapter was likely supposed to be a surprise ending and I found that to be predictable.

Listened in one sitting!!

The story kept me on the edge of my seat. I love this author and I really enjoy Brittany Presley narration. I found towards the end of this thriller I got a pang in my heart and felt emotional. I listen to books everyday and in this genre there can be little I can’t guess, but this ending I did not see!!! I recommend this book!!
