Holy moly this book was very intense. Usually I LOVE Freida’s stories, but the tension and suspense and just general situation of the story was making me sick…I had to take a break for a few days and considered DNF. If you are someone who usually checks the content warnings, I hope you check them first!! If you’re sensitive to

Domestic / verbal abuse and gaslighting

it may be too much. 
That being said, I think it was a good story! Typical Freida twists, and I had no idea what was happening or what was the truth!
