 I don’t think I have complimentary words for this one lol besides it being easy to read but that’s your standard McFadden. Main character was an (for lack of a better word) idiot and I felt like I was reading the diary of a 15 year old girl. The “reveal” I guess makes sense but it was a damn mess lol. My 4th Freida and I think sadly this will be my last

3.5

The book had a good plot twists at the end, however, a lot of the plot was driven by the main character not allowing other characters to give her needed information. a lack of communication and memory lost that the main character was not interested in digging in her memories for more information. She often let things happen to her rather than doing anything for herself. The chapters alternate between the present and 11 years ago, which is not something that I enjoyed. However, I did enjoy the internal monologue of the main character, and often found myself laughing at her thoughts.
