Ward D is fun. 

Throw out all of your anger about how unrealistic the medical ward setting is (we get it) and let yourself enjoy this slightly cheesy, b-movie vibe, absolutely ridiculous plotline. 

Despite having figured out the big twist about 30% in, I live for a good unreliable narrator story, and this had me second guessing our MC every step of the way. Amy is terrible, and by the end I was almost rooting for her to die.

HOWEVER. The end had me cackling. I had been so angry with how they "wrapped up" the little girl plot point that I was thrilled to have a little extra.

Despite its faults, this was a fun, fast paced read that I couldn't put down. We love Frieda.

The ending seems a tad… ambiguous? Especially considering we got answers to everything else that was a mystery throughout the book. The twists were definitely unexpected and kept me on my toes!
