TGIF Bookpeople!
Thrilled to share with you today my review for this addictive twisty psychological thriller!!!🖤
My Thoughts
This book was one WILD and CRAZY RIDE!!!
This is the kind of book you need to finish in order two truly see the brilliance… The beginning of the book was like sifting through fog… nothing was clear, I was confused as to what exactly was going on… were these Poppy’s dreams? memories? delusions?? I was as confused if not more than Poppy and her drug and grief addled brain… but once the fog cleared I realized this was done by the author by design… fully immersing you in poppy’s tragic situation…. Poppy was one spectacular unreliable narrator….
Poppy’s husband Jack was murdered while jogging at the park one day… Poppy is devastated, she also feels guilty…. soon after Jack’s funeral Poppy goes missing for a few days, and comes back with no recollection of where she was or what she did…. with Jack’s murder never being solved and certain she is being followed, Poppy is completely on edge… will she ever recover her memory? Who killed her beloved husband and why? And who in the world is following her now?
Lisa Unger takes you on one twisted ride in this book…. The uncertainty and unraveling was quite dizzying… for a large portion of this book I wasn’t quite certain if I was coming or going… Papi definitely drags you through her complicated Mays of crazy…. A brilliant thriller that ends with a twist and a bang!
Absolutely recommend to fans of of a darker twistier psychological thriller…

About the Book
It’s been a year since Poppy’s husband, Jack, was brutally murdered during his morning run through Manhattan’s Riverside Park. In the immediate aftermath, Poppy spiraled into an oblivion of grief, disappearing for several days only to turn up ragged and confused wearing a tight red dress she didn’t recognize. What happened to Poppy during those lost days? And more importantly, what happened to Jack?
The case was never solved, and Poppy has finally begun to move on. But those lost days have never stopped haunting her. Poppy starts having nightmares and blackouts–there are periods of time she can’t remember, and she’s unable to tell the difference between what is real and what she’s imagining. When she begins to sense that someone is following her, Poppy is plunged into a game of cat and mouse, determined to unravel the mystery around her husband’s death. But can she handle the truth about what
really happened?
Wow this sounds awesome!! Adding to my list!

I don’t mind being confused or ‘sifting through fog’ as long as everything is cleared at the end. much better still when it’s cleared with a twist and a bang.
