My first Freida McFadden book and I'm impressed!
<INCLUDES SPOILERS>

I was contemplating on reading her books because everyone was hyping her up so much and I didn't want to be disappointed...
But now that I did I understand all the praise!

McFadden has a really nice way of writing. I found it so easy to get into the book and the story, it took me by surprise!
I rarely have it that I finish a book in one day, but that was crazy.

Nora is kind of an untrustworthy narrator.
I sometimes really questioned her: did she really do it? What is happening??
I didn't guess one single thing in this plot and was shocked at what happened! But it all made sense.

I'm glad she found her happy ending!!
The little letter from Harper at the end doesn't really surprise me tbh... I wonder if theres a following book in plan! I could imagine it.
But to conclude: I'm glad this was my first book from this author! It was mysterious, fast paced and very breath taking. I couldn't put it down!
