I have read another book by Lisa Jewell and enjoyed her work. However, I found this book to be very predictable. I thought some of the characters to be a bit creepy and stalkerish. I am guessing it leads to the idea that even small towns have questionable characters. Overall, a good read but, I wish there was a bit more going on.
