🇳🇱: wauw... dit boek heeft me echt weggeblazen! Ik heb dit boek mogen ontvangen als recensie exemplaar en ik had nog nooit iets gelezen van Freida, maar wauw wat kan deze vrouw schrijven. Het boek zit zo goed in elkaar dat je de hele tijd aan het boek denkt. Ik had echt moeite om het boek weg te leggen. En dan hebben we het nog niets een gehad over het plot! Deze zag ik totaal niet aankomen. Dit kwam omdat je eerst alleen het perspectief van Millie ziet, pas als het plot bekend is zie je de kant van Nina. Ik vond het zelf heel fijn dat je ook nog even meegenomen wordt door het verhaal van Nina, zo begrijp je het plot nog veel meer. En dat dat einde gwn wauw! Wat een boek ik ga zeker meer van deze schrijfster lezen.

🇬🇧: wauw this book blew me away! I received this as a review sample and I hadn't read anything from this author before, but man she is good! The book is put togheter so well that it doesn't leave your mind. I had a hard time putting it away! And I haven't even talked about the plot yet! This one was totally unexpected.  That is because you first see the perspective of Millie, after the plot is revealed you will see the perspective of Nina. I thought it was a nice touch that you see the story from Nina her perspective as well because that way the plot will make way more sense. And then the end wow. I will read more of this writer for sure!

loved every second of it. highkey a new favourite.
it has some aspects that could’ve been improved before publishing but meh. reading it feels like watching those old scary movies where the characters make stupid decisions and you’re just like “b-tch tf? don’t do that” and they do it anyways lol

It's a good story.  Unfortunately, it's the same as another thriller I've read.
