Favorite Freida book so far! With the other books of hers I’ve read, I felt that all the plots were the same with the exact same kind of plot twist. This story, however, had many layers. While some parts were predictable, there was always more and more being uncovered. I didn’t want to put the book down. I liked how many aspects of the book were foreshadowing later parts in the novel that I wouldn’t have even realized or thought of. Each character was complex for a reason. Millie did was she did in her past for a reason, Nina treated Millie the way she did for a reason, and even Andrew treated the girls the way he did for a reason! You wouldn’t have guessed that at first because we as the readers perceived them all a certain way even just reading the story and being introduced to the characters. It goes to show that we have perceptions of people, but you never truly know why they are the way they are. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series. I really enjoyed it!!
