I will always speed my way through a Freida McFadden it seems. She knows how to write a page turner alright.
This fell a bit short. I liked it but something was missing for me. I think the main character got on my nerves a bit. She could have saved herself a lot of hassle with how she went about things but like if she just didn’t lie to the police from the start but I digress. I also think she treated Brady like shit and was accusing him of things that even I (as the reader of a thriller where EVERYONE IS A SUSPECT) didn’t suspect him of.
I thought the ending was fast paced and entertaining but felt it came out of no where a bit. Still I gave three stars because I was entertained and it was kind of what I was looking to read. Fast paced, not confusing, one and done.
