Jim's Review
🐛
Jim appreciates a good unreliable narrator, and Rachel is spectacularly unreliable. The three-voice structure keeps you guessing, and the slow unraveling of what actually happened is properly gripping. It doesn't quite reach Gone Girl levels — Jim has to be honest — but it's a solid commuter read. Three worms — ironically, great for reading on a train.
