Not my favorite of McFadden so far. This was mid. It was good enough to finish, but I wouldn't recommend it or rave about it.

She did it again. My hell, this was amazing. T.J. has a talent for writing charactera and stories that immerse you into the story and make you feel like it is actually happening. Sucks for my anxiety, bc she writes disaster thrillers 😂 I will always be in first in line for her books.

Short but fascinating. This book gets into your brain and mixed up all your feelings and thoughts and leaves you staring into the void. I'm agnostic and still feel absolutely astonished at the level of depth in such a short book

Super far fetched plot, but also a thrilling weekend read. I enjoyed how everything came together in the end.

Did not finish book. Stopped at 70%.
Hard DNF. I made it over 70% ish, and I just couldn't take anymore. I had high hopes bc it starts so strong. Then it just tanks. Every character is insufferable. The FMC ignores every obvious thing happening, and never speaks up. Every man is obnoxious and hates women. It got so old going in those circles. If you loved this book, I love that for you.

I normally don't like graphic audiobooks. HOWEVER, I absolutely loved this. Maybe it's because I am already so familiar with the series? Regardless, this reread with the graphic audio was so enjoyable. I loved the full cast. It gave the story so much life. As always, I love this series.
