Erin and Will are having problems in their marriage for the past six months. Erin doesn’t trust him and thinks he’s cheating on her, she has been having flashbacks and feels that she is in danger. They decide to have couples therapy as the “last resort”.
Maggie is their therapist; she cannot work out who is telling the truth and who isn’t, but she seems to have an agenda.
So much is in this book, I did have to stop and digest different parts, it was quite a dark read.
I liked Erin, but I didn’t particularly like Will, he seemed so shady like he was saying things to appease Erin rather than meaning them.
This book switches from the present where Erin has been the victim of a hit and run and is fighting for her life, to the past and leading up to that moment.
This kept my brain ticking throughout, an excellent psychological thriller, that was emotional and shocking.
