Another book that is hard for me to review when it's confusing all the way through

The first half of this book was so boring and confusing I almost gave up, I didn't give it up but I did start skimming to get to what is actually going on, by part 2 I was just nearly bored to tears

So my questions might be spoilers--who is Vanessa, who is Nellie and who is Emma? It takes a long time to get all this clear in your mind and when you do then you wonder 'why is it written like this?' so I didn't like that part of the writing, it doesn't take much to figure out what is happening but yet it's written in a confusing way, too many authors are trying to make it a 'gone girl' or 'girl on the train' and I didn't like either of those, but it does resemble the movie 'sleeping with the enemy' with Julia Roberts

So I'm stuck between a 2 and 3 star rating, I didn't really like it that much but yet it might be worth someone's time
