I was expecting more of a psychological “twist”, this felt more like a LifeTime movie.
All Brooke would do is switch between believing Shane or Tim. I was tired of reading about Brooke saying “he’s a nice guy” “he’s hot” about her 2 love interests. Thank god for her 10yr old son Josh, he was the most interesting character even though we only got to read about his perspective at the very end, & learn the truth. What a smart mommas boy
The truth behind why Shane’s mom was out to get Brooke was dumb AF. Killing innocent teenagers because the person you’re “inlove with” won’t ditch his family for you..
There was no mention of Shane’s father, “Margie” Mrs.Nelson making the reasoning for this mess even more ridiculous. I almost want to give this book 2 1/2 stars but because I liked the Authors writing style & speed I’ll give it 3stars. The author did keep me intruiged the whole time even though the story is underwhelming and the main character was annoying & naïve

- This was by far my favorite book from Freida out of the 4 I’ve read so far!!
- There was so much suspense and mystery and I loved the past and present POVs where the details were revealed little by little.
- This was one of those thrillers that I was so sure was going to be disappointing because the killer couldn’t have been more obvious but by the end I had to just sit there for 5 minutes trying to process what just happened because I was in SHOCK. I didn’t see any of that coming and it’s definitely one of my favorite twists!
- Also, that last line???? It was another twist I wasn’t expecting and it’s definitely going to haunt me.
- If you loved Jar of Hearts by Jennifer Hillier, I’d highly recommend this because it reminded me of it with the way that the MC’s ex is the suspected killer and they both have pretty shocking endings. I can’t wait to read more by this author and I’m already trying to decide what’ll be my next read!!
