This book is fast-paced and packed with twists, though many are predictable. While I found myself intrigued for most of the story, almost every character is unlikable, and the narrators lack redeeming qualities. I felt frustrated as I read their thoughts and watched them make poor decisions. The most disappointing aspect was the ending and epilogue; instead of feeling satisfied, I found myself exclaiming, “Okay, WTF?” out loud because to top it all off,

the two characters who initially seem redeemable turn out to be the same person, which ultimately makes him unlikable instead.

There are several plot holes, but I wasn’t entirely bored, so I’m giving it 3 stars.

The book trope wasn’t my favorite, and it didn’t have as many unpredictable plot twists as most of Freida McFadden’s other novels. However, there was one at the very end…

Eve did the same exact thing as Nate! Hudson…aka Jay

If the author’s goal was to leave the reader with a complete mind f*ck, she definitely succeeded (with me at least). Although I am not sure if it was a mind f*ck or just horribly rude storytelling.

“I deserve a treat”. THAT HAS ME SO CONFUSED

Simplesmente fantástico, mais um grande livro de Freida Mcfadden, começam me a escacear palavras para descrever os livros desta autora. Fico a aguardar as próximas traduções para português desta autora.
