The epilogue completely shattered an otherwise fantastic read. Dark and gripping to some sense of vindication gets shredded to ribbons in a convoluted gotcha twist ending that ruins otherwise decent characters and makes no logistical sense. Also the shoe thing was exhausting.

Wow. Never see the twists coming. But also hated having to read about an adult and child relationship.

🌟4.5🌟 after getting into part 3 and as the story began to end, I thought we had met our final twist. But the last chapter… I’m speechless. Freida just couldn’t spare us!! I feel like she just left me on the edge of a cliff, but I love it, I’m more than okay with it. My imagination is running countless story lines and it makes me want more!! 
I was impressed this time around with the POVs. Can the events of this story make readers uncomfortable? Sure. But I felt more emotion in this story than I have with The Housemaid series. 
Needless to say - I am recommending Freida to everyone and I cannot wait to read more!!

The amount of unhinged content in this book is absolutely psychotic. I love Ms. McFadden, but a grippy sock vacation might be a good thing for her. I wanted so badly to rate this book a 1, but how could I when there was twist even within the last 5 sentences?! It was just so well written which her books usually are. One thing’s for sure: both Nate and Eve are absolutely disgusting; I gagged several times, screamed in public on more than one occasion and my jaw became a semi-permanent fixture on the floor. At the same time, I had to finish it and it’s 100% a 5-star book.
