Loved it! I suspected the plot twist but had a couple other guesses too, I wasn’t 100%. I really liked this, I finished it within 24 hours. Quick read because you’ve gotta know how it ends.

I couldn't put this book down. I love the way the chapters are written. It bounced back and forth between narrators in a way that kept you wanting more.

I just can't get enough of Freida's books! She has become one of my favorite authors and I will read pretty much anything she writes. This book had another great twist that I didn't see coming. Freida is the queen of red herrings as well.

Plot twist was clever but I saw it coming from a mile away, which is what kept me from rating this five stars. But I would still recommend this, especially if you need something to binge read.
