I have read a lot of psychological thrillers during 2018. I like how they lead me to believe something is true and then ultimately have an about face, and I find that what really happened was completely different from what I was led to believe all along. The change in perspective intrigues me, but this book really doesn’t completely fall into that category.

The author of this book gives an in-depth look at the main characters, who had circumstances in their childhood that caused them to have issues as grown-ups. The story did not have one single person that I liked, and often caring about at least one of the characters has a lot to do with how I feel about a story. The story flows nicely, but at times I felt as if all the analysis of everyone's experiences and actions was becoming tedious. It isn’t as exciting as some of these books are; I don’t consider this a page turner. The ending didn’t surprise me either; the book was building up to that all along.

There is, of course, the obligatory sex scenes and cursing—some of the swear words have God thrown in.

Maybe I’m a bit jaded by all the truly thrilling, four and five star books I have read. I only feel that this book was ok, and for that reason, I’m giving it two stars.
