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.

This was a really fast read but incredibly predictable with several plot holes. Not my favorite and I hate being left with questions at the end!

Oh what a plot twist. Such an easy thriller to read that I just couldn’t put down. Finished it in one sitting and honestly the way it ends leaves you to ponder.

I only started reading last year, this was my first read outside of the original author that got me into reading which is FAR from similar genre. But I gave this a go and I LOVED IT. 
I usually take a few days to finish a book but I sped through this in a day, it was so interesting and had unpredictable plot twists that also weren’t unrealistic.
Only con I’d mention is I didn’t particularly like the add on chapter at the end, but if you’re into cliffhangers it’s great. If you’re like me and like a book to finish where it finishes, don’t give the extra chapter a read!
