We are on to our next prompt for the bingo card and this book supposedly falls under the "Protagonist who is a villain" square. I know this was a pretty popular book when it came out and I had to wait until the holds list for it dwindle down a bit. Which is good because I don't remember anything this book is about. That means we get a raw review from me. I've attempted to try to listen to the book but at the time my family likes to complain and talk to me about everything that is going on. I even held the book to read along to show that I was reading and that didn't even work. So hopefully I'll be able to listen to more before I go to bed. I'm already behind on my reading schedule due to illness and mental health. My goal is to finish this book quick so I can move on to the next prompt.

Well this book has me questioning my own sanity. I don't even know who is telling the truth anymore and what anyone motives are. The only one I can be sure of is Alix. She somehow ends up in the same place at a woman named Josie, who shares a birthday with her. Alix runs a podcast series and is looking for a new project and Josie is just feeling stuck in her life. Everything seems innocent at first but than things turn an obsessive turn once these two characters start to record a podcast together. And with this turn things also start to get a little weird. You learn about Josie and how she met her husband that is 26 years older than her. Then we learn about their children and what is going on in their homelife. It is a rabbit hole I didn't expect to be going down. I admit that the book was a little slow in the beginning. But once you hit the second part in the book and the weird things start, you just want to keep going to figure out what is actually going on. You get a few hints in the podcast clips throughout the book, but they don't really explain anything. They just keep you wondering what is going on. I stopped at the point where Josie is literally stalking Alix's husband and she has something planned. I just don't know what.

I don't know what to tell you about this book without ruining it for you. A lot happens towards the ends. People go missing and family members get murdered. We also get other perspectives of the story that counteracts what Josie has told Alix. It makes you wonder who is really telling the truth. But it also makes you wonder if there is something mentally wrong with Josie that makes her believe that she hasn't done anything wrong. I just have to say that you will have to read the book to find out on your own. I really liked the book. The beginning was a bit slow but once things pick up, they picked up. I would give the book a four out of five stars. I would also recommend it if you like a thriller that keeps you gripped.
