Thank you Edelweiss and Harper Collins for providing me with an arc for review!

I had such high hopes for this book. I absolutely adore thrillers. This definitely left me completely on the edge of my seat and I finished it within a single day.

However certain things just absolutely rubbed me the wrong way. There was a casually transphobic comment made pretty early on that just took me out of the story. I also couldn't connect to Thursday and her absolute fixation of how a perfect woman is supposed to be as well the expectations she envisions women having. A lot of that is just how her character is and it left me uneasy.

I appreciated this for how easy it was to read but I don't think I would do a re-read however.
