Definitely didn’t see that coming. The twist is absolutely diabolical. All the male characters are creepy as shit — it really could’ve been anyone. This book kept me enthralled. I finished it in 24 hours. Plot is pretty realistic as well which I appreciate in a thriller.

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.

What a great book! Keeps you on your toes and the twists and turns just keep coming. Right when you think you know what’s going on, you don’t. Definitely was NOT expecting the ending. Finished in one day, I loved it. Definitely a 5 star read/listen for me.

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.
