I'm realising I'm not a huge Freida fan - the writing is predictable and sometimes cringey. The occasional plot twists are interesting. I got this from Libby while waiting for some holds. 

I did enjoy the format between past time and current, as well as the epilogue.

This was okay. The plot twist was really surprising but a bit far fetched, and I wish we got more flashbacks from her childhood. The story felt very rushed towards the end and needed more development.
