Gripping & exciting

DEVOURED this book. Such an easy and fast read. 

I don't dwell much on thrillers/mysteries because I like to sleep soundly at night 😂 

This book has been sitting on my tbr for the longest time so I decided to finally read it to take a break from romance and now I can't wait to go back to my happily ever afters lol. 

This has a satisfying ending. Has some loose ends that were not addressed. My mind was definitely bent after this but I will keep trying to read more of Freida's work.

There should be a prize for every single character being unlikable- it’s almost impressive if not a bit annoying.

FMC is infuriating, often saying the right thing to do and blatantly disregarding it and doing the stupid alternative. In addition to her ability to be gaslit by everyone, including herself, she lacks
the ability to recognize people she once knew. It doesn’t seem feasible that she forgot this many people. The whole trial seems like a sham with her watery testimony she doesn’t even believe to be true, getting a guy a life sentence then saying oh gosh I think I was wrong, sprinting that guy from prison and incarcerating another without repercussions. I don’t think so.


Always go into a Freida book accepting the boundaries of feasibility, but this time the Queen of Redundancy (and boy did she like to repeat herself in this book) asked the reader to stretch too far. It’s not feasible, but rather a farce.
