In typical Freida fashion, I had an idea of the ending and when we got there my idea was squashed to bits and only the tiniest of things I got correct. I loved it. Always going to be an auto-read author and although this plot wasn’t my favorite of all her books I’ve read, it was still so intriguing and kept me on my toes to the very last word. Highly recommend!!!

 I liked this book however it’s not one of my favourites. Nice short read if that’s what you’re looking for I like the plot and the usual twist and turns with freidas writing style. Characters are likeable however one I dislike but that was the point. The ending I sort of expected but no until I got really close to it. I liked the mystery of trying to work out who anonymous was and the way it flicked between Claire and anonymous. For me the ending was a little bit of a cliff hanger and left me wanting more.
