    This book was so enthralling with its mysterious excerpts from an unnamed narrator at times and the subtle hints that lead to what the readers are led to believe they’re going down the right path and figuring it all out finally that’s when they no sooner the books plot will flip twisting them towards an entirely different way leaving you awestruck at the revelation that are learned in the plots twist. The complexities in this marriage, the knowledge about one another and the depths of their history is startling. In this way they’re parallels to and have many similarities between Poppy ‘s parents and their interactions with one another and relationship dynamics. Compelling climatic final moments will leave you shaking your head in utter disbelief and an ending that send you reeling in astonishment!
  • A must read!!

    My Review: Wow, wow, wow!!!!! What an explosive book this was. That ending will stay me with me for a very long time. I’m totally speechless. This was a book you can read in just one sitting and not feel guilty. Every chapter kept you engrossed and wanting more. I loved this one. I don’t even know where to begin with this book without giving too much away. The chapters alternate between Beth and Tom and this kept the book moving very fast. It gave the reader insight to both of the main characters which I loved. Let’s talk characters. At first I wasn’t sure about Beth at all. She portrays herself as a doting wife and mother who has no clue what is going on. As you keep reading though you find out this is not at all who she is. As for her husband Tom, I hated him from the very get go but I’m sure that was planned by the author. He was meant not to be liked and the author did a great job at that. The best part of this book though was that ending. OMG!!!!! I did have somewhat of a clue towards the end of book what might happen but when it did it was still a WOW moment that I will never forget. I loved every minute of that ending. It was the perfect ending in my book. I have read so many great reviews for this book and they were all right when they said how wonderful this book was. I can’t say enough good things about it myself. This was a great book that I would recommend to everyone and anyone who will listen. I will shout it to the moon and back. I’m so happy I got a chance to read it. Between the plot, characters and all the twists in this book it made it an easy and fast read. I would definitely recommend it and happily give it 5 Hearts❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

    I enjoyed this book. The title gives a lot of the story away, but the twist is pretty good.
  • Okay but not great.

    This one just wasn’t my cup of tea. I ended up not reading each chapter fully just to get to the end. The twists at the end were worth getting there and I read the last few chapters in full.
  • Good Story, okay writing

    The story was good, with a nice end twist I didn’t see coming. I was left wanting it better written, more mature. But it was a descent read.
