While the main character is pretty naive and HER perspective makes the story a little fuzzy. Its the epilogue that makes the entire story worth it! The overall story is predictable, the "twist" isn't completely unexpected- and the "monster" is exactly who you expect. I wish we had spent more time at the prison dealing with the actual premise, but whatever. For a quick and easy read it's not bad and keeps you thinking.

This book was a good read. I could predict most of the ending, but not everything! I was surprised at a lot of things that happened! Especially in the epilogue! Wow. Will definitely pick up another Frieda McFadden book in the future!

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.

• 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!!

I LOVED THIS BOOK SO MUCH. 

Just when I thought I had figured out the book and what actually happened, here comes Freida McFadden with ANOTHER twist. There was like 3 twists at the end. Such a wild ride, and I loved every minute of it.
