I really enjoyed the perspectives it was written from. It was pretty easy to read and flowed very well. I liked the level of detail provided. And always love a good plot twist that makes me audibly gasp!

Quick read. Finished in one sitting because I wanted to figure it out after initially thinking I have already figured it out.

I absolutely devoured this.

This was the second Freida McFadden book that I’ve read. I haven’t read many thrillers so take this review with the grain of salt. I loved every second of it. I hate horror, but I’m a big fan of psychological thrillers. This is very fast-paced and keeps you on your toes the whole time. I highly recommend it.
