This was not my favorite book of Freida‘s. I thought most of the early part of the book was very juvenile but as I got deeper into it- I couldn‘t put it down. Definitely a good ending but the first part was tough to plow thru.

August 23, 2025 Omg 😁 Who is surprised that I went to Target today and got this book ^^^!!! Words cannot express how excited I am to have it in my possession and for it to finally be out in stores. I was trying so hard to find it and I almost gave up because I didnt see it in the book section where her other books were located and when I was on my way to the checkout line, I SNAGGED A COPY hehehe

We Used to Live Here is dark, eerie, and full of suspense. The story kept me hooked and guessing right up until the end. I loved the creepy atmosphere and unsettling vibe. However, it left a few too many questions unanswered for my taste. I don‘t want to spoil anything, but I finished still wondering about a lot. If you enjoy open-ended psychological thrillers, this one might be a good listen.
