Expect a high creep factory in this psychological thriller. Set aside time because one you start reading it you won't want to stop until the book concludes.

Sophie Kinsella is amongst the few authors who's books I purchase and read without knowing what it's about because I know that I will get a good read. This read is an emotional and heartfelt. I would have liked the book to have been a bit longer but can certainly understand why it wasn't.
This book gets better with each read. It becomes darker, more deranged and the characters are people we don't want to know but enjoy reading about.
