Frieda has done it again and I am back in my thriller era. As always she leads you in one direction and then spins you around. The characters are so well developed to the point I hated them all 😂 only thing stopping it from 5 stars is it drags on in some areas where it didn’t need to and lost the pace a bit for me.

I loved the different perspectives and use of emails to tell the story which fit well with the plot.

Definitely one to read if you’re a Freida fan!

Oof. This one was just not it - Sorry Freida. The first 3/4 of the book read like a middle schooler who was trying to hit a word count wrote it. The last 1/4 was mostly typical Freida and had some unexpected turns. I didn’t enjoy either main character and found them both annoying. The ending just seemed odd to me as well.

Not my favorite Freida, but in true Freida fashion it’s a fun, twisty read.

However, I think if she would’ve said the word “turtle” one more time, my head would’ve exploded.

The first plot twist didn't get to me but the follow-up three were amazing!!

I would've liked to see Natalie in jail though

Another easy to read, fast-paced, and entertaining book that is expected from this author. Like a lot of her books it starts out with a seemingly predictable plot but then you guessed it…. a twist or two!!! I know this about this author but it still leaves me shook every time. She keeps me glued to the book.

While I did enjoy the book I have constructive criticism. The first few chapters were a LOT of turtle talk and less substance building for the story. I feel that the word turtle was used when she could have just written “figurine”, “cupcakes, “plush” or anything else. I also feel that overall this one is a bit less “thrilling” than her other books. There were still twists and shocking moments but in comparison to her other books this is a bit more vanilla. If I had read this first I think I would give it a 4/5 but for this one I will give it a 3.75/5. It is still worth the read!!
