A few plotholes that I can't overlook which brought the rating down.

I was bothered by tbe fact that she talked repeatedly about how she couldn't tell anyone the identify of her baby's father, but her brother knew all about the deal she was making, including the identity of the guy. There's more but that is the most black and white issue I had with this.

Not her best book, this one ends up near the bottom for me. The beginning is your typical background story and character introduction. The middle takes part over the course of several days and is redundant with a smattering of different mundane daily happenings that makes it seem less like Groundhog’s Day. Then comes the twist that comes with every Frieda book. However, the twist in this one was underwhelming at best and seemed rushed, one minute  the story is building and the next it’s over. 

There could’ve been much more detail to unraveling the mess the main character Tegan ends up in but it reads as bullet points from an outline drafted into elementary sentences. As a nurse myself the part after the twist is just so improbable given the security measures of locked hospital units. 

Hank is insufferable and absolutely infuriated me but ever so slightly redeemed himself. Polly belongs locked up in a psychiatric hospital for a good long time.

I’m a Frieda McFadden fan but I only finished The Crash because I paid money for the paperback. I think even the editor got bored because I found four mistakes in the last 80 pages.
