This was the third book I’ve read by the author, and I liked it more than the other two (The Inmate & The Gift), but I almost dropped it around 50%. The only character that is anywhere remotely close to being likable is Addie, because she is a child, and it’s not her fault that the adults in her life failed her miserably. I absolutely hated how Eve treated her and even put blame on her at first for what happened. The final twist didn’t make much sense to me either. If “Jay” is who we are to believe he is, then how did Eve never recognize him… and why is there never an introspective moment to highlight the fact that she is honestly no better than her husband since both were having extramarital affairs with minors? …yeeeah, so this one got me riled up, but I finished reading it in a day and look forward to the author’s other works.

Thank you to NetGalley, Freida McFadden and publishers for the ARC.

This book was a menace to society! This was the most darkest, unhinged, twisted, dark book I have read from Freida! I could not put this down. I could not stop listening to this. I only can tell you to prepare yourself, *spoiler* inappropriate adult/child contact. Be warned if it is not your thing.
I got whiplashed from this book. I was able to get over some things because this book was too damn good!
