This was my first Freida McFadden book. Her books are so hyped now that I wanted to see for myself what was all the fuss about.

I really enjoyed the story. Fast, compelling, mysterious and dark - just my type of book. Although, at some points, I felt like the story was going nowhere, I think that overall, and by the end, everything went that way it was supposed to. And that ending? My God, I was not expecting that! Nice!

I will definitely read her other books now.

    Brooke moves back to her hometown with her son after her parents die. She gets a job at the prison where her ex-boyfriend/son's father is incarcerated after she accuses him of a massacre the night of her son's conception. But did he do it? Or was it the boy next door she's now falling in love with?
    This was a good thriller. I was bouncing back and forth between who could have done it. It was one of the guys, but I wasn't 100% sure who it was.
     And the final twist with the son was interesting, though I'd figured out something was up with that little hint someone dropped.
   The characters however weren't very likable for the most part, which made it a bit harder to enjoy.

Narrator Rating: 3.25 stars
   The narrator was decent but pronounced some words oddly. Her voice was harder to tune out which was good. She just didn't make the book come alive as much as I would have liked.

Narrator/protagonist has the craziest case of Dumb Bitch Disease that I have read in a while. Lots of predictable twists but the last one got me. 3 stars but extra 0.5 star for the fact that I was so invested that I basically finished the book in one sitting.

It wasn't what I expected, that much I'll say. I didn't not love the storyline, but I'm also not hyping it up. I actually was kinda disappointed that it didn't keep me as captivated as Verity by Colleen Hoover did. The start was incredibly slow. Up until where Brooke got freaked out by Tim when he gave her [peep] for her birthday. And it was only when Brooke went to Tim's house for the evening that things really started getting interesting. Also, the other thing I can say is that I trusted neither of the 2 men up until the very last pages! I honestly didn't know who to trust. I feel this book might be a bit overhyped, but it was also definitely worth the read.

• 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!!
