Short smut is always great to get me out of a little reading slump. Easy to finish in one sitting and deliciously dark.

The entire time I was listening I thought, “Oh it’s clearly this person.” But then, right towards the end, it wasn’t. But then at the actual end, it was. The Red Herring was a nice change of pace from all the other Frieda books I have read so far. Not bad; again, I found some of the characters annoying, but I at least liked Victoria. Good, easy read with a nice twist.

I thought I had it figured out the whole time. I did not 😅
This wasn’t too bad! Classic Freida to me. Easy read & listening to the audiobook helps me to not be so bored at work. 4/5. It was good, but it wasn’t great.

I get that these characters aren’t meant to be likable, but oh my god, everyone felt so obnoxious and annoying. It was a struggle to get through and honestly I only did just to see what happened. And then what happened didn’t even feel like a huge twist!

Oh. My. God. You want to talk about a twist?! I was listening to the audiobook version while at work. I was walking back to my desk when the first part of the twist was revealed and I had to come to a full stop to process it. And then the final twist? OH MY GOD. I practically ran to my boss’s office (who recently finished this book) and collapsed. This was so good. This was my second Freida McFadden book and, just, wow. Wow is all I can muster.

Loud: Accept Nothing Less Than the Life You Deserve by Drew Afualo

I really enjoyed this little memoir/self-help book. Firstly, I love Drew. Secondly, I just feel a little more empowered. Now, I’m not saying that this changed my life, but it definitely made an impact. It was nice to be reminded that I am (we all are) worth it and that self-doubt is so common, even in those folks you think have it all figured out. If you want a little boost, I highly recommend giving this a read.

This was my first Freida McFadden book and now I get it. I get the hype. I stayed up until 3AM just to finish this book. Now, I’ve never been good at figuring out twisted, but I will say I did catch on to a few things here and there. I also feel like I only caught onto them RIGHT before the main character did, so maybe I was just really invested. Anyway, I enjoyed this. It was a fast read (mostly because I couldn’t put it down) and the ending got me. Highly recommend.
