This is my first read from Freida. The book was fast paced and kept me on the hook ! I loved the alternative perspectives in two different timelines and the short chapters. The last twist was unreal ! I could have never guessed that. Great read indeed !
However, I didnt like the FMC at all. She made so many dumb decisions and was so obsessed with looks and sex that she clearly wasn’t being a good friend or a sensible human who takes care of her own safety. I kinda liked the toxic evil characters more than her. And that’s the reason why I gave this book a 4.
