WANT TO KNOW A SECRET? BY FREIDA MCFADDEN ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Synopsis
Everyone has secrets.
YouTube baking sensation April Masterson knows the secret to the perfect gooey brownies. Or how to make key lime squares that will melt in your mouth. But if you keep watching her offline, you may find out some other secrets about April. Secrets she’d rather you didn’t know.
Like where did her son go when he snuck out of the house? What was she doing with the local soccer coach behind fogged windows? And what’s buried in her backyard?
Everyone has secrets. Some are worse than others. April’s secrets are enough to destroy her.
I’ll make sure of that.
My review
I listened to this book via audiobook on Scribd. I am making my way through Freida McFadden's books because I really enjoy her writing style and how she builds up suspense with twists I never see coming. This book lived up to my expectations!
I felt that the begining was a little slow, but it built up the character developments.
I found a lot of the characters really annoying and unlikeable. They were typical rich mom's, self absorbed and obsessed with their image.
However, after the halfway mark the story really picked up and had me gripped! We also start to see alternating perspectives at this point. Then all the twists and turns happen and the end.... Wow! My brain is confused.
⭐⭐⭐⭐/5 stars from me.

It was good. I liked the story in the beginning and I think the build up was good as well but the plot twist just didn't do it for me. It wasn't bad it was just wasn't my favorite.

This book was definitely entertaining but the last plot twist was a bit far fetched. I didn’t connect with or like any of the characters besides Sean otherwise I think I would’ve enjoyed it more.

Pretty Little Liars but with soccer moms. Maybe I shouldn't have binge listened to three Freida McFadden audiobooks in a week because they're all starting to sound the same boooooooooooooooo

I didn’t enjoy this one as much as other Freida books. I’m rounding up to 3 stars because I liked some of the plot twists, but overall a very weak book.
