Love Freida’s writing! This isn’t as good (IMO) as the Housemaid but it kept me guessing until the end. 

And the last page definitely added something I would have never guessed! 

Can’t wait to read another one by her! ❤️

Aside from the main character this book had a lot of potential. But I felt like a lot of the choices she made were just so horribly stupid it made her unlovable as a character.

Like even if you thought someone could be framing you

…the choices she was making made her look awful. Straight dumb and you’re supposed to be a doctor ma’am? I felt like I was yelling at her the entire book. The overall storyline is actually good if you can get over the personality of the main character.
