entertaining but a pretty unbelievable/ borderline ridiculous storyline, not to mention it is an almost exact replica of verity by colleen hoover (which was released 3 years prior

The characters were just too stupid and annoying and the plot was way too predictable to be likeable.

3.2/5 ⭐️s - Okay, so Freida did an awesome job pulling me out of a reading slump again, but this book felt like a remix of others. Right from the start, it gave me major vibes of "The Housemaid" and "The Silent Patient." When I tried explaining the plot to my friend, she legit thought I was talking about "Verity" (haven’t read that one, so idk how similar they are).

Overall, it was a good read but nothing mind-blowing. I guessed the twist super early because it felt like a "same, same but different" situation compared to other books. If you’re into that kind of thing, you might still enjoy it!
