This unsettling encounter unveils a darker side to Josie, revealing not only her controlling nature but also a high level of manipulation. I loved the structure of the novel, which is presented from the perspectives of Josie and Alix with transcripts of the podcast interviews (featuring Josie, Alix and several other characters) interspersed throughout the narrative.

The way that the two of them got together was creepy and unsettling regardless of the perspective, and all round he just appeared extremely passive. Her novels have sold over 10 million copies internationally, and her work has also been translated into twenty-nine languages. I finally got my turn last weekend and got through most of it over two days while I worked on the painting I’m doing for my brother’s Christmas gift (he requested “ugly art”).

I believe the ending was designed to give the reader some authority over how they perceived not only the entire story, but also what happens after the final page is turned, although I would have been more satisfied with full closure. So you want to tell me that every person was defending on a pedophile and the mc's mum is viciously angry because her 16 year old daughter seduced a 43 year old man who was married to another woman but having an affair with this little girl's mum? Even protagonist Alix has her blinders on selectively throughout and doesn't exactly do her due diligence with, well, anything.
