Wow this book was so good but I wouldn’t expect anything less from my girl Freida! Each chapter left me wanting more and there were so many twists keeping me engaged. I love to hate each character in this book yet Freida’s got me empathizing with each one. The change in perspective kept the book fresh and flushed everything out. I will be reading the sequel VERY soon!
