This book was a page turner. The protagonist, Mary, was in such a predicament that kept getting worse, so, of course, I kept reading to see what would happen. Lansens also made her such a believable character, I couldn't help but empathize and care about her.

It's not often anymore that a book keeps me up late reading, but this one did. After reading The Girls and then this book, Lansens has become one of my favourite authors.
