Un sequel che mi ha convinta meno del primo libro. Millie vuole rifarsi una vita e aiutare le donne senza oltrepassare la legge, ma la trama mi è sembrata più fragile e campata in aria. La protagonista resta troppo titubante, e certe dinamiche poco credibili:
la rapidità con cui stringe rapporti, la perdita dell’auto non spiegata, l’amico poliziotto arrivato troppo facilmente.

Enzo rimane il mio preferito, sempre leale e disposto a restarle accanto, anche se il suo “conosco un tizio per ogni cosa” sa tanto di toppa narrativa.
Brock, al contrario, l’ha abbandonata nel momento peggiore. Wendy è un personaggio detestabile e faticoso da leggere, mentre Marybeth è stata una sorpresa discutibile: trasformata in un’ossessionata in cerca di vendetta, fino alla scena delle pillole che ho trovato forzata.

In sintesi: scorrevole, con qualche momento di tensione, ma molto meno incisivo e solido rispetto al primo libro.

Swore to myself that I would never read another Freida book because I always find my IQ drop by the end. I convinced myself to read this because my expectations were low and just wanted something fun. This wasn’t nearly has good as the original. I don’t normally anticipate twists, but I saw this coming a mile away. Not worth anybody’s time.
