Reviews with content warning for Kidnapping - The Perfect Son

This book was wildly predictable right from the beginning and I knew exactly how it was going to end by about 25 pages in. That didn't stop it from being an incredibly fun read of the type that's absolutely perfect when you just want some "thriller trash" escapism. There was definitely nothing cerebral or even a little bit surprising about any of this, but I really enjoyed it anyway and appreciated it for the fun ride it was.

It was an interesting read though it isn’t the kind of book I usually read it was still a nice read. Though I wasn't expecting the ending at the beginnin. But it does end up giving you some clues the more you read.

4.0

This was not only the first thriller I have read but the first by Freida McFadden. And it was super good. The only part (and reason for a 4 star) was because a piece of the puzzle in there made it seem sketchy. I thought it could have been played out better or better described. The pov was too fast and collected all the information into one piece. (Trying not to make spoilers, sorry, not a helpful review I know). Overall, would recommend.
