I ate up every crumb of this book and more! The twists had me in a chokehold.

Could have done without Sydney, but the rest of the book makes up for it.

This did not end in the way I thought it would and I absolutely loved that! Give me all the books with surprise endings please! 

Sydney is on the hunt for the perfect boyfriend. Is that even possible? Especially after dating a detective who she thought was perfect but was married to the job and had no time for her. Then she meets Tom. Who is perfect in all the right ways. Until she starts to notice somethings just not making sense. Will she overlook the red flags or will she admit who she really thinks he is?
 
This book was a bit confusing at first but definitely picked up and showed off in my opinion! Definitely one I would recommend to those who love a good thriller!

Why, I find myself asking, is every main character I read from this author so obnoxious? 

Sydney, girl, GET A GRIP. Or maybe just a clue. There were so many things that she wrote off as "coincidences" that were NOT coincidental. 

Also, this is the second time a Frieda twist hasn't surprised me. I'm not sure why everyone was so shocked by this one, because I had it nailed down. 

The thing I didn't get correct was about Slug, but for the sake of spoilers I won't say what I thought or what was true. 

Omg, the ending of this was.... a lot and very very rushed. The epilogue served to show that Sydney remains a moron.

Let's make our main characters not stupid, please 🙏🏻... That is all.

The story immediately gripped me and kept me interested but the ending wasn’t as satisfying as I expected.
