Worst read of 2025!
Characters were extremely unlikable. Not a fan of the writing style, felt like I was reading a tiktok post over explaining a situation.

holy SHIT.
this was fuckED UP!!!

insanely gripping and terrifying. i loved it. an endless list of plot twists and i am not sure if the author is reliable. wouldn't be surprised if after the epilogue new insanity would happen.

however i thought the epilogue was unrealistic and unnecessary. what a fucked "family" of three. naaaah.

if you're looking for an AMAZING thriller. i recommend. (i am not responsible for the trauma it might cause you)

I was frustrated with the FMC the whole dang time but I devoured this book!!! I didn’t expect this book to be what it was about and I thought I saw what was coming, but once again I was wrong. Freida never misses!
