Not her best. 3/5 ⭐️

Generally confusing, plot holes with misleading characters (Maureen, what are you doing here?), and the twist at the end wasn’t so believable unfortunately.

I gave it a generous 2 stars. Only because my sister and I read it on a road trip and we got some good laughs out of it. No, it’s not a comedy. We also found so much of it ridiculous and unbelievable that people could be so naive and uncommunicative in a relationship. The plot was confusing and felt like Frieda was trying so hard to create “red herrings” that it just made it convoluted. She made the women all shallow and vindictive.

it honestly wasn’t that bad the ending just felt extremely rushed and i feel like many of the mystery elements didn’t surprise me. it was intriguing enough though 

2.5 rounded up.

this book was entertaining but it was also a mess with a bunch of plot holes left to be answered but that’s just frieda i think
