I don’t know what Freida puts in her books but I always devour them in one sitting. Was this the best book ever? No. But it was just what I felt like, it was easy to read and even though I sort of saw the twist coming I still thoroughly enjoyed myself! This would have gotten a full five stars if a few things hadn’t been a little too convenient and if I hadn’t guessed the twist (if i’m honest I only guessed the twist towards the end so it didn’t really ruin my enjoyment).
