Oh man, was this a doozy. I never knew which way it was going, and I never knew how is going to end.

Great premise for a book, poorly executed. Don’t bother is my advice!

I’m not sure, but I think this might be the last Freida McFadden book I read anytime soon 😔😔.
I love how fast-paced her books usually are, but that ending? It didn’t make sense to me at all.

Honestly, I’m not even sure I remember the plot—and I finished the book like two minutes ago. Josh’s mother (ugh, I forgot her name) annoyed me the entire book (!!). Josh, though? He’s the one character who really stood out for me.

I’ll be honest—I more than tolerated the epilogue. It was a sweet moment between family. Like father, like son - so cute 👉🏽👈🏽🥹😻
