MASTERFUL. Hoooooly cow! I'd heard people saying that All the Dangerous Things was better than Flicker, but I'm honestly unsure.
The plot was all over the place between the disassociating and random time skips, just sheer perfection on audio. It felt like you'd been daydreaming and then snapped back to the present. I thought I had the twist down for sure, and then she got me TWICE! Stacy Willingham is officially one of my favorite domestic thriller authors now. Between the chaotic plot and the highly suspicious characters, it'll keep you guessing throughout. Dare I say unputdownable??
Also the fireflies on the cover? SO GOOD. I love it when a cover subtly references a theme from the book.
