My thoughts: This is a psychological novel highlighting the impact of how ones childhood into their adulthood. Hannah is the main character in this novel and we follow her through unfortunate events in her adult life. If something could go wrong or happen it happened to Hannah. Hannah also didn't make it better with her behaviour especially the lying. Throughout the book we read sections of her childhood - trying to understand her mother and her father being kicked out of the family home, we also are shown how she met her husband and learned about a childhood best friend, Juliette.
Finally Hannah agrees to get some counselling at a in-house program to find out what is the underlying cause of all these behaviours. This is also to hopefully help save her marriage and help her live a better life. I don't want to give out any spoilers but this book was a real page turner having me hooked that I finished it in a couple days. This book is a great book that people can relate to and learn maybe more about themselves in the process.
