i might need to reread this knowing the ending, because some things just aren't adding up. 

but i did thoroughly enjoy this book, despite the ethics & morals involved.

Honestly, this was not worth the read. This was my first experience with a Freida McFadden book and Im really hoping this was just a bad apple. It just felt very Wattpad and the ‘twists’ at the end were underwhelming and left so many questions unanswered.

I’m always flabbergasted at the end of a Frieda novel. This one definitely gave me the ick, so check the trigger warnings. I really can’t believe the final twist. That was…unexpected, to say the least. These books are so easy to digest, even when they’re about the most heinous topics. It’s like bad reality tv in the best way possible…you just can’t look away.

Trigger warnings: Adult/minor relationship, pedophilia, infidelity, violence.

I have yet to read a book from this author that I didn't like, and this one continued the trend. There were definitely some things about it that were cringeworthy, but considering what the book was about they weren't all that surprising. I definitely never saw the twist at the very end of the book coming and I tore through it over the course of a couple days. Looking forward to reading more of her work in the future!

Any plot that involves pedophilia gives me insane ick.

This whole book just felt like a vehicle for the author's shoe and underage teen fetishes. No thanks. I don't think I'll be reading any more from this author.
