I loved this book like all of her books you think that you know everything and the there comes Freida with another plot twist that you wouldn't expect. The plot twist was nuts I thought that something was going to happen and then there comes the actual antagonist. My jaw was on the floor.

I want to give this book the highest rating I possibly can. I have been in a reading slump for 2 months and i picked this up and finished it in 7 hours. The plot twist…whoa. This is the first book by Freida McFadden I have read but I think i may have just found one of my new favorite authors. The book was so fast paced and i just could not put it down. The only downside of this book was the fact it made it lose sleep because I didn’t want to stop reading it. I love this book so much 10/10.

I ate up every crumb of this book and more! The twists had me in a chokehold.

Could have done without Sydney, but the rest of the book makes up for it.

Oh, this book was so good! The dual POVs worked so well with each other that the ending tied up nicely. The plot twists kept coming that it kept me wanting to read more. I loved it.

This did not end in the way I thought it would and I absolutely loved that! Give me all the books with surprise endings please! 

Sydney is on the hunt for the perfect boyfriend. Is that even possible? Especially after dating a detective who she thought was perfect but was married to the job and had no time for her. Then she meets Tom. Who is perfect in all the right ways. Until she starts to notice somethings just not making sense. Will she overlook the red flags or will she admit who she really thinks he is?
 
This book was a bit confusing at first but definitely picked up and showed off in my opinion! Definitely one I would recommend to those who love a good thriller!
