What a good f*cking book! At first I want sure if I would stick with it because it was so long and there were so many character names to remember, but I’m so glad I stuck with it.

One of the reasons I love Freida’s books is because of the impressive, creative, shocking twists. This book did not do that.

I don’t think it’s fair or good writing to do half of a book with the perception it’s true, then the second half to be like TWIST that was actually all a lie. Sure narrators can be unpredictable but April’s half of the book was just straight up not true. Not even her perspective was a little skewed because of memory or mental health or some other plot point, just entirely misleading the reader.
