“Sometimes it's not the people that change. It's the mask that falls off.”
Dark psychological thriller with several POVs and timelines that threw me around a bit and became confusing. But good twists and voices to for audioscrapbooking.

Love story in a big house in the mountains which transforms into a hotel for the heartbroken run by Louisa, who faced recent heartbreak herself. Actually a coming-of-age scenario for Louisa, bc she‘s put her own emotional growth on hold since college. The sex scenes were clunky and the “sweet talk” between lovers was uninspiring; I was happy for a hopeful ending.
