šŸ‘©ā€šŸ’¼ Two coworkers. One goes missing. Secrets spill everywhere. . The story follows two very different women working at the same company: Dawn, a quiet, socially awkward accountant who keeps to herself, and Natalie, her polished and popular coworker. When Dawn suddenly disappears, Natalie is pulled into a web of suspicion and deceit. What begins as a missing-person case spirals into a dark unraveling of hidden truths, forcing Natalie—and the reader—to question everything about appearances, loyalty, and who can really be trusted.
Fast-paced + twisty, but I wanted a little more action at the end. Still a fun, bingeable thriller!

Another great twisty book from Freida. You start off hating Natalie for just being so mean to dawn and Amelia. Then dawn does go all crazy and her and Caleb plan this whole story to fake dawns death and frame Natalie for it. Just to get revenge on bullying Amelia and Amelia killing herself. I was surprised Tara was killed by dawn. But man that epilogue with Natalie spilling all the secrets on Seth’s ex wife…mind blown!!

Underwhelming, uninteresting, and very predictable.

Not a fan. Just over half way through, the book started to turn for me. What started out as the usual Freida McFadden tension and suspense, quickly dissolved. The twists weren't that exciting and by the time I reached the epilogue I was just ready for it to be over. 

I’ve read quite a few Freida McFadden books and rated them fairly high but I did not enjoy this.

I didn’t really care for either of the two main characters Dawn or Natalie. The plot twists were not that surprising.
