"Just not yet."

i received my copy from a blind date with a book gifted by my friend marie for my bday, so i had to bingeee it.

its been months since i've read an entire book and reviewed one so my skills r a lil rusty but omg... this was my first freida mcfadden book and i've heard veryyy good things about her works.

it was absolutely crazyyy and i could not put it down. i went from hating nina to hating millie to hating nINA AND MILLIE SIMULTANEOUSLY to loving nina and hating andrew and millie and to loving both nina and millie

altho millies morals are fucked up cuz why would u fuck someones husband

and it was truly a rollercoaster ride.

i ended up crying at the end bc i was so satisfied with the ending (i had my doubts) and some of the characters abusive behaviors reminded me of my own grandparents (crazy right?) like its insanity how stuff like this actually happens.

im gonna have to pick up another freida mcfadden book soon because i was HOOKEDDDD!

I absolutely devoured this book.

The writing was faced paced and the end of every short chapter left me desperate to keep reading. The definition of a page turner. 

I can't deny that the actual writing/prose wasn't amazing, but it was such an addictive read it didn't matter.

I decided to read this book as I realised that although I enjoy watching thrillers, I don't tend to read them. This has definitely been a good introduction to the genre.
