I can always count on freida to give me a wild ride!!! while this one wasn’t as jaw dropping and unhinged as some of her others, I still found myself gasping with every new revelation 🤯

there’s something about an unreliable narrator that gets me going - and this one was no exception! told from the POV of april, the readers are blindly trusting her and her opinions of everyone, and I loved figuring out how each character shaped differently depending on how well april knew them… 

while I did guess the main plot twist, I loved flipping through the pages and going for the ride! in freida we trust 🫡 especially when she’s the queen of heart-pounding binge-worthy thrillers

and that epilogue did feel like a cheap shot compared to the way everything else played out methodically…

this one is definitely less psychological than her others and more neighborhood thriller, but that didn’t matter in the overall value of twists and turns!
