The story was predictable but was a good trip. Was drown out and repetitive in parts, but there were some good elements. My biggest gripe was the bit about the Snoop account at the start of every chapter. I get why they did it, but near the climax, as POVs were swapping fast, it grew annoying and repetitive.
4/5 Stars ⭐️ Freida’s writing style is, as always, incredibly gripping. Her books are simply impossible to put down, even though the chapters in this one are a bit longer than what she usually writes. I definitely didn’t see the ending coming, the plot twist completely caught me off guard. But I did feel like the storyline wrapped up a little too quickly, almost as if the book suddenly rushed toward the finish line. Still, that final twist was wild. I genuinely sat there with my mouth open.

Short quick read but I really enjoyed it. The book was interesting and I also liked the bits and pieces of relationship “drama”. Claire’s thoughts were sometimes A little too repetitive. Didn’t really see the ending coming and the twist was good. What I really loved about this book is Claire’s and her husband’s story. How they went from hating each other to finding their love and spark again.
