Excellent read. No big promises, no pretentions, no glamour.
It was just about a broken heart (or several), an alcoholic, and life. The need for routine, for a reason to get up in the morning. Emotional pain that needs to be dealt with...one way or another. Nothing about this book was dressed up or sugar coated.
That is what made it good (IMO). Rachael had no blinders on when it came to her drinking, she knew she was in deep, and was a mess, and so be it. Very good thriller, I really liked the flow of this story, the memory lapses due to her drinking and how horrified every day she woke up, as to what she may have done, or not done...true to life.

Anyone reading this should pick up on the many times Rachael is referred to as: unstable, unreliable. Yeah, aren't we all? She was perfectly imperfect. She is all of us. Did she do some weird shit? sure, who of us doesn't?

How the shroud of " you were drunk" hid the real villain became apparent at about half way through the book, and the ending became pretty clear to me, but still..so worth the read. I give it a solid four stars, without blinking.
