"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 don’t read many thrillers so some of it was hard to read. I prefer soppy cute stuff not pulling out teeth and dying from dehydration. But this book was AMAZING. I guessed the plot twist just two chapters before it happened so I’m really happy that it stayed so mysterious the whole way through. Part of me thinks what Nina did to Millie and how she spoke to her was so repetitive and went on for so long with no reason too. The book could have been cut down more. I get that it’s building the characters up to what we expect them to be and setting the scene to then create a twist, but for me, it was getting repetitive reading about Nina being rude. After it hit PART 2, I was HOOKED. Read it in a day regardless so definitely not boring regardless and I’d 100% recommend this book. I do wish Millie had a bigger happy ending, I can see her and Enzo are still in contact but can there be a few kisses on the ends of them text so she experiences real love? The epilogue leaves on a cliff hanger too so that’s cool!! Off to read Handmaids secret!
