Fiction

I Let You Go by Clare Mackintosh
Chapters 43–53
Epilogue [the end]

The final twist strays a little too far into the realm of coincidence for my taste, but it's a solid read overall. Would I have seen all the other twists coming if I hadn't had it flagged to me as having an incredible, makes-you-want-to-reread-it twist? Maybe not, and maybe it would've been better for that. Such is the risk when you tell someone "this has a great twist!"
