Freida McFadden writes in a way that keeps you hooked from page one. Even though Nora isn’t the most lovable character, you know she’s the way she is because of her childhood. I have to say the twist ruined everything that was built up for me, I actually laughed out loud at the reveal and the dialogue that followed. Regardless, I had an amazing time reading.

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC! 

Me thinking I got a Freida book figured out is so laughable. I picked out a person in the beginning & halfway through & neither were it. This is a HIGHLY underrated Freida McFadden book. This one kept me from putting it down at almost every chapter, I felt like I just had to get to the bottom of it with all the twists & turns! I thought the more of her books I read, the easier it would be to pick out the culprit early on, jokes on me though!
