Freida did it again. Kept me guessing through the whole book and I was able to finish it in a day and a half. Well done, Freida. Well done.

The only reason this isn’t a 5 is because the main character, Sydney, was one of the most obnoxious characters I’ve ever read in a book! She as slated as almost 35 but I would swear she was actually 22. In the end I did feel some sense of pity and sympathy for her though and liked her ending. Having the story go back and forth between her and Tom was so interesting! And  it worked well. Tom was a mysterious character that was hard to crack. Is her a serial killer or is he wildly misunderstood? Guess you’ll have to read it to find out!
