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?!

Not the best book I’ve read by this author but good for a different type of read. I found myself not really connecting with many of the characters and guessing some of the plot twists.

Plot was a bit too predictable. But the reveals at the end were interesting. This was my second book by McFadden and have to say I liked Never Lie a lot more. The plot twists were better.

Brooke seemed very naive and the name calling part at the school was stupid.

But I liked this interesting combination of romance and thriller.
