Maybe this book would’ve been better if the narrator for the audiobook didn’t give stupid voices to everyone. But also maybe not because there was only one collective brain cell between every single character.

Ms. McFadden gets me every. single. time. I really thought I had this one figured out to my core from the beginning and I was SO WRONG ABOUT EVERYTHING! The twists were BEYOND shocking in this one. The only thing keeping it from a 5 for me is this book did not have her best epilogue in my opinion. Otherwise, bravo Frieda - you played me AGAIN.
