Narrator/protagonist has the craziest case of Dumb Bitch Disease that I have read in a while. Lots of predictable twists but the last one got me. 3 stars but extra 0.5 star for the fact that I was so invested that I basically finished the book in one sitting.

********** SPOILER **********
Felt like I was reading some adult version of I know What You Did Last Summer. Most of the book was mediocre, and the reveal was almost laughable, but the last chapter, the epilogue of what really happened after the reveal, gave me chills.
Only thing I can’t figure out is whether Shane and Brooke are related. They share a father, so yeah, but then why are the characters treated as if they weren’t half-siblings? Very confused!

5.0
- This was by far my favorite book from Freida out of the 4 I’ve read so far!!
- There was so much suspense and mystery and I loved the past and present POVs where the details were revealed little by little.
- This was one of those thrillers that I was so sure was going to be disappointing because the killer couldn’t have been more obvious but by the end I had to just sit there for 5 minutes trying to process what just happened because I was in SHOCK. I didn’t see any of that coming and it’s definitely one of my favorite twists!
- Also, that last line???? It was another twist I wasn’t expecting and it’s definitely going to haunt me.
- If you loved Jar of Hearts by Jennifer Hillier, I’d highly recommend this because it reminded me of it with the way that the MC’s ex is the suspected killer and they both have pretty shocking endings. I can’t wait to read more by this author and I’m already trying to decide what’ll be my next read!!
