A review by ellaticonstellation
The Surrogate Mother by Freida McFadden

challenging dark emotional sad tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

I truly enjoyed this story. It's my first book from Freida and I'll read more. I love the concept and the mind games. It's twisted and dark though there are parts that I'm not happy about; overall, I liked this a lot. Thank you, Freida✨
