4.0

Not as gripping as some of McFadden's other novels, and not as big of a jaw-dropping twist (and some were a little predictable), but still had me curious as to where it was going that I had to finish it in a couple of days (the standard time frame for any of her books!). One of the twists still threw me enough that I'll have to go back and read it with that in mind. Brilliant writing as always. More of a suspense/mystery & romance than your usual McFadden thriller.

4.5

I really enjoyed this book, just like every other Freida book. I just feel like this book could have been a little better paced because the beginning was fairly slow. Luckily I know Freida is always going to wow so I stuck with it. The end seemed to come too much all at once & I think it made it a little hard to follow. This one will definitely need a re read (which isn't really a bad thing)!
