That was a bit of fun. Some frustrating parts and annoying characters who make silly choices. But a good twisty thriller.

I loved this book like all of her books you think that you know everything and the there comes Freida with another plot twist that you wouldn't expect. The plot twist was nuts I thought that something was going to happen and then there comes the actual antagonist. My jaw was on the floor.

Main female character was not an enjoyable read, her poor decisions were a frustrating constant irritant.  Her constant talk on body image did not allow for an escape from the real world type of epic read. 

The POV from Tom made the book enjoyable and built the story.  It did not make any sense why he fell for Sydney.  The main plot twist saved the book.

Personal annoyance - talking of Sydney and Cindy on audio was very confusing.

I want to give this book the highest rating I possibly can. I have been in a reading slump for 2 months and i picked this up and finished it in 7 hours. The plot twist…whoa. This is the first book by Freida McFadden I have read but I think i may have just found one of my new favorite authors. The book was so fast paced and i just could not put it down. The only downside of this book was the fact it made it lose sleep because I didn’t want to stop reading it. I love this book so much 10/10.
