I almost didn't finish because there were some MAJOR eating disorder triggers, but I'm glad that I pushed through because it was well worth the uncomfortable moments. (I skipped through the eating disorder bits for my own mental health.)
This book has so many twists and turns that I genuinely did not see coming. I don't know if I was just off my game because of the triggers, if I was in a weird funk, or if she is genuinely that good of a writer.
Not a fan of this one, I was bored through most of it and I didn't like the twist at all.
This was VERY good. I'm very glad this is my first book of the year. It's dark, but it's very well done. Would definitely recommend.

I've read a couple of Jackson's previous novels but this one takes her in a different direction into psychological suspense and it's a winner. Pitting two strong-willed female characters against each other in a high-stakes cat-and-mouse game that leads to fireworks, secrets hidden and then revealed, blackmail, and betrayal. As always, Jackson's characters are finely-crafted and her writing flows, but this time it's wrapped arond a fast-paced ever-changing plot that had me reading well into the wee hours.
