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.

Not my usual read but very light and easy to get into,  surprising ending no matter how hard I tried to place it beforehand!

Typical of Freida McFadden writing. Suspense and romance all in one. Don't read if you're squeamish.

This book was a 5 star read! I do love a good FM book but it’s hit or miss with the length of storyline for me. This one I read in a sitting and half bc I could not put it down. The pace was perfect combined with the twist you really never see coming. The author gives false hints here and there throughout the book so you may think you know…but you have no idea (MTV diaries style)but I’d be curious to see what is picked up and why by each reader bc she developed multiple characters through multiple timelines really well. So moral of this review is obviously that YOU NEED TO READ IT.

It was a slow start, I almost DNF’d it, but it picked up gradually. By the end I was completely engaged.
