First Nora Robert's Read.

I'm not entirely sure what I expected going into this, but from reading the synopsis I was intrigued.

I loved that Naomi was a strong independent woman. She wasn't a mess and cringey, even when she discovers her dad's awful secret.

As far as thrillers go, this one was really good. It had me sitting at the edge of my seat, flipping page after page.

While I did guess the person a bit too early, it was fantastic to see the way it unfolded.
