2.5

Was going to give this 2 stars, but the epilogue brings it up to a 2.5 for me. This was my third Freida book, and they have all felt like the same exact plot in different fonts. I was a little disappointed when this plot felt exactly the same as the last two. Murder mystery with flashback stories the whole book and just waiting to see what the twist is because you know it’s not going to be obvious. This one felt really far fetched and the murder story was way too unrealistic. Brook was soooooo easily persuaded and annoyed me so much. The little part of the epilogue from Josh’s pov was my favorite part of the whole book.

Loved it. I have yet to read a McFadden that doesn’t surprise me. I am still shook. How did I not see it coming?!
