This is my third Frieda McFadden book after The Housemaid books. It is comparatively not as shocking and twisted, but still very suspenseful and mysterious. Couldn't wait to find where it was going and what was true!

I can’t tell if the audiobook reader is what makes me feel like some of the book is cringy, but I also think the narrator is just stupid. I know that the plot of this book makes her second guess herself, and I even thought it was an unreliable narrator trope because of what had been done to her. But in the end, it was completely different than what I thought. Overall I still enjoyed the book, but I would have rather read the paper copy so the audiobook voice didn’t ruin it. Freida McFadden always uses her so in the future I think I’ll just read her books in paper or ebook form
