Wow. Just wow. I am glad I picked up this twisty thriller. The ending literally had my mouth hanging open in surprise. Just when I thought I couldn’t be more shocked, I was. This book is a must read!

I always love a good Freida McFadden book. No hate to her because I EAT UP her books, but they’re like so bad that they’re good. If that makes sense? Like they’re cringe but the ending makes EVERYTHING worth it. The ending to this one was no different. IT WAS WILD. When you think she’s done. Nope. ANOTHER twist is thrown at you. Someday maybe I’ll read this again and I’ll get to see everything in a new perspective.

Wow. A very heavy, uncomfortable book. The very last twist absolutely got me. It was crazy but I didn’t like the detail of the adult/minor relationships. Just felt yucky. 

Content warnings: very little cussing. Graphic adult/minor relationships, if the sexual content was between two adults I would say it was mild in detail, but to me it was too descriptive since one was a minor. I really didn’t want that picture painted quite so well.

VERY rough read in the middle because of the nature of the material, almost DNF.  But everything pulls together and very much sticks the landing
