This was a difficult book to read. It seemed to go nowhere and there was definitely no suspense. I kept waiting for things to start getting exciting. There was so much happening, some of it very far fetched. Maybe I’m used to faster paced thrillers which could be why I didn’t enjoy this book.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for the ARC in return for an honest and unbiased opinion.

I really could not get into this book. I read 25% before giving up but it wasn’t for me.
I could not connect to any of the characters and found it boring.

Thanks to Netgalley for this review copy in exchange for an honest review.

Rachel is running from her past and found a perfect live-in job as a writer's assistant. Dorothy is the best selling author and working on her latest book. Kathryn and Andrew are characters in Dorothy's new book. Kathryn has abandoned her kid and spending some time in therapy. Both of the stories were running parallel. Gordan is Dorothy's neighbour and wants to be a private investigator.

I was so excited to read this book and was expecting a HUGE mystery. After finishing the whole book I sat for 5 minutes to think where was the mystery?. There were so many characters but did they contribute anything in the story except dragging it? No. I guessed the twisted way before the end so it wasn't fun. The story was executed so blandly. In simple words, the story was boring and the writing didn't favour it either. So many elements were thrown to confuse the reader but they only annoyed me.
