I was going to rate it lower due to the incessant mentioning of turtles. The twists at the end were good enough to score it a little higher

It was well written, and suspenseful, so I will check the author's other books. But the cruelty of both the workplace and the autistic world in this book hit too close to home; the book left me wrung out and miserable.

It was a great book, as always with her books, there were so many twists… ones you often never see coming! The turtle talk got a bit annoying and I could’ve done without so much of it, which is why I gave it a 3.5 instead of a 4 or higher.

A minha primeira experiência com um livro da Freida e não sei bem o que pensar.

O mistério foi apenas ok, não foi impactante que chegue.
A revelação da razão por trás do mistério e segredos das personagens foi a melhor parte do caso porque não adivinhava que era algo importante enquanto ia lendo.

A segunda metade foi muito mais interessante, a Dawn sendo uma personagem neuro-divergente foi escrita com muita mais profundidade que a Natalie, a típica popular girl com todo o privilégio que a sua cara bonita lhe concede.
Estar realmente na mente/POV da Dawn foi ótimo e teria dado a vibe sinistra que a primeira metade tanto quis passar mas falhou.

Não quero ler a trilogia da "Criada" e não há muitas premissas que me atraiam nos livros da autora.
Não recomendo para leitores ávidos de thrillers e só talvez para quem for fã da Freida.

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐
