liked it

This is a hard book to rate because I both hated it and enjoyed it at the same time. Very mixed feelings about this one.

For me, the suspense wasn’t really there and a lot of the twists and turns felt extremely predictable besides one. It also felt pretty outrageous to me, so I think that is one reason why I didn’t feel much suspense. Regardless, for some reason, I still couldn’t stop reading it. It still drew me in to the plot line and I absolutely had to know how it ended.

I don’t think this is her best work, but it also wasn’t unreadable. It was interesting but ridiculous. I wonder how many other people will have trouble rating this and have similar mixed feelings.

message 25: by Alicia (new) - rated it 3 stars

Alicia Burrows Couldn’t agree more. It was so hard for me to rate it. I still haven’t posted it. It was good but not good at the same time. Like I didn’t hate it… but I’m not sure I loved it. The ending ticked me off. So I’m going to sit on it for a bit before I do my review lol


Casey Reads 🌸 @Alicia exactly!! I was so torn!


message 27: by Sarah (new) - rated it 4 stars

Jackie This is exactly how I feel!!


Courtney Bouchette Yes! I just finished the book and I was like well….okay then. I totally guessed the ending, which is not usual in a Freida book. I couldn’t put it down but also it was ridiculous. 🤷🏻‍♀️


Casey Reads 🌸 @Courtney exactly!!! Def wasn’t my fav!


Casey Reads 🌸 @Mary B glad it wasn’t just me!


Casey Reads 🌸 @Jackie right!! So hard to review!
