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.
