My Review
An entertaining quick read of a thriller. This is the first book I have read by Freida McFadden. The addition of the anonymous narrator chapters was an interesting way to add a different perspective to the novel, even though I did figure out who the narrator was, in the beginning it added an additional element of mystery to the novel. A fun fast paced read perfect for a weekend where you can just sit and read a book uninterrupted. I look forward to reading some other books by this author that are on my tbr shelf to compare the writing.
My Rating: 3.5/5
⭐️⭐️⭐️💫
