Freida Mcfadden is a GENIUS. This book is wayyy better than the first one. I loved the first book but I thought it wasn't a 5 stars but this one- OMG it just keeps getting better. I literally dont know how to further describe it but this is definitely one of my new fav books.

ABSOLUTELY UNPUTDOWNABLE!
This book is amazing! This is my second Freida Mcfadden book and I'm in love with her writing. The book is about Millie who just started working for the Winchesters. The Winchesters are incredibly rich but with a lot of secrets. As the plot moves on you'll understand more. There are clear red flags but Millie is an ex convict so she is desperate. I dont wanna give too much away but its phenomenal. Though I think there are a few plotholes and the book feels like there is smth missing from the plot but the twist got me so good so I had to give it 4.5 stars. I really did not see the twist coming and I cant wait to read the sequel. It also has similarities to the book Verity by Colleen Hoover but I think this book is slightly better. They have similar plots. All in all this is an amazing thriller.

I feel like this book would totally smash as a movie. As a book though I think its a nice crime thriller. If you are like me and read crime a lot you might guess the plot but its still a good book.

Maybe its because I just finished reading it but it feels like this book has already changed my world. This book is made for girls who feel insecure and not enough in them selves and are willing to feel one with the beauty of the earth. I deeply feel that all brown girls like myself must read this book no matter how you feel about yourself.

It felt sooo slow I had to skim through the entire book and kinda found it boring and didnt love the characters that much... I gave 2 stars cuz I like the way Ian's writing is really descriptive he is really good in that way but overall would not recommend.

I just finished reading Evidence of the Affair by Taylor Jenkins Reid. This book is like Illicit Affairs x Ivy if y'all havent read it yet you HAVE TO. This is my new favourite book. This book is like exactly what I was looking for. 5 stars. One thing about this book is that you can read it when you're sick of romance, this book is NOT romance its love, I can feel it. WARNING: Almost sad-happy kinda ending but its one to die for.

PS: I think I loved this book a lot more bcuz I kinda relate to knowing a person like that... almost like david mayer.
