"I mean it was good but a lot of childhood trauma that was hard to read. But I probably yelled "that bi**h" like five times as the story unraveled "

Maya

"Expected better from this author. Writing is rather juvenile, plot twist midway through is just lame. Weak plot overall. Disappointing and difficult to muster the motivation to finish."

"Very twisted and shocking. I liked the different character viewpoints. "

Ashley

"Had on my shelf since September 2018 and finally gave it a read. Kinda slow start with a rather abrupt ending but good! "

"I absolutely loved this book!!! I didn’t see anything coming it was shock after shock. It all worked out perfectly and I never expected it to turn out the way it did. If I could read it all over again I definitely would. My second favorite book of Sarah’s right after Behind Her Eyes "

Veronica Martinez

"I’m totally torn between 3 and 4 stars on this book...on one hand I was pretty bored through the first half, and I definitely wasn’t surprised at the ending. But on the other hand it was really well written and the pacing was insane. I flew through to the end because I just had to know what happened! So ultimately I really enjoyed this, and I would recommend it to my fellow thriller lovers since it’s a fun read. Apparently it’s sort of based on a true story, which I always find intriguing (link below for those who are curious!)<br/><br/>https://www.bustle.com/p/cross-her-heart-author-sarah-pinborough-on-how-she-subverts-the-fridging-trope-in-her-thriller-novels-11901910"

"Good story and pace. Well written but an anticlimactic ending."

"I loved this! I couldn’t put it down. Marilyn is basically the type of best friend we all want & need. I really enjoyed her parts along with just the whole story overall. I honestly don’t prefer this over her first novel, Behind Her Eyes, that one is my absolute favorite book of 2021 (it was my April BOTM from Book of The Month 🤷🏻‍♀️) BUT never the less I love Sarah Pinborough’s writing. 💕 "
