Many thanks to NetGalley and Inkubator Books for gifting me a digital ARC of the latest thriller by Emily Shiner - 4.5 stars!
Zoe is happily married to Ethan and a stay-at-home mother to toddler Anna. Life is good. Until teenaged Micah shows up at the door, saying his mom is gone and Ethan is his dad. Zoe wants to do the right thing so she invites Micah in and tries to make him feel part of the family. But things just seem off.
The story spools out between the perspectives of both Zoe and Micah. There's a tense feeling of things just not being right - Micah seems too needy, is fascinated with Anna, and is lying. I really felt for Zoe - she tried so hard to do the right thing for Ethan, as well as for Micah and Anna. You could feel her inner turmoil. It's a quick, well-written read with that twist at the end that I didn't see coming!
