I think I liked this better than The Housemaid but Freida is just not for me. Despite spending most of the book in Nora's head, by the end of the book I didn't really know anything more about her than I did after the first couple chapters. Nora is a surgeon. Her dad is a serial killer (but she's not like him!! he's a killer! she saves lives!!). She's convinced her DNA makes her dangerous and refuses to get close to anyone. Idk the story was good overall and I read it quickly but noticed many typos throughout and got annoyed at how much of the book was just telling me the same things over and over again. I was surprised by the twist ending but also annoyed because it felt too out of left field? I know this sounds like I hated it, which I didn't! I just probably won't read anymore Freida McFadden 🫣
