I really wanted to like this but couldn't! There was just TOO much going on??? Spoilers ahead....Literally too many plot points happening at once, husband cheating?, secret pregnancy, sister killed her parents possibly?, her framing her boss/sisters godmother??, the imaginary friend, her getting drugged and raped and then not immediately telling her husband/the police or anyone??? I understand we are not supposed to trust the unreliable narrator but even ignoring what could be lies it was just too much trying to happen at once and the resolution was nothing

I wouldn't say I hated this, but I had to leave a review saying I sort of saw the twist coming in a sense because of its similarity to Rock Paper Scissors in the sense that (SPOILER FOR THAT BOOK TOO)

the flashbacks were not from the perspective we thought they were from. That would've been about a 4-star, but then those SA scenes came out of nowhere and I had to take multiple breaks because of them. I had no clue they were coming and I wasn't ready, nor would I have picked this up to begin with.
The ending sort of made no sense which was also frustrating. I sort of jumped when I turned the page and saw the acknowledgements. (was Ebook so I didn't know how close to the end I was)
I'll admit I convinced myself Amber was going to open her eyes to discover that the hospital was all an elaborate hoax to make her think that's where she was. I let myself down with that one haha.
I'm really glad Alice Feeney seems to have improved since this story.
