I struggled to enjoy The Escape at first because I really disliked Jo but I've enjoyed other books by the author so stuck with it, hoping things would turn around. They did but it took a lot of chapters to get me on Jo's side. I disliked Jo at first, she's a placid, wet rag of a person. She never stands up for herself and is so meek and accommodating. Thankfully, she grows some backbone before the end of the book and I found myself rooting for her. The Escape has everything I enjoy about a solid, twisty thriller.
