I think this is the least thrilling book I've read by Freida McFadden. At times, I found myself skipping chapters because nothing significant was happening. While the overall plot is interesting—especially the twist where the captors turn out to be the saviors—the subplots felt weak and failed to hold my attention. The pacing dragged in places, and the suspense that usually defines McFadden‘s work just wasn‘t there for me in this one. 🎧
Wow! This book was an unexpected ride! I mean obviously I knew what was going to happen and the why was given early on, but not the full picture. The big twist I figured out before the reveal, but felt it was still shocking. Overall I enjoyed this book and would recommend.

I‘ve missed you, Litsy! The last two months have been…wild. Two deaths in the family, a new job, and a week-long hospital stay 🫨 Anyway .. back to reading. This book was SO GOOD. Loved the POV, the back and forth, the plot twists, the flow of events, the believability..but yes, the end could‘ve been stronger and the book longer.
