Loved the setup in this one, but the execution was convoluted and, unfortunately, boring. At least it was a quick read.

Yet another audio that got us through November; some mystery, some intrigue, how reliable are these narrators (particularly mom), trauma on trauma....so much going on and I definitely wanted to know what was up by the end. I saw some of it coming but was surprised by a good twist. I will say, in comparison to Push, I liked Push more (and that felt more realistic than this).
3.75⭐
•This is one of those stories where you already know who the killer is, but the mystery is in how the people in the story will find out and whether they will survive finding the truth. Overall, this was not without its issues, but I still found myself invested in the story.
•It was great that each POV had a different narrator and each of them gave a decent performance.
A low pick for me. Not one of Freida's best. I called the twist very early on.
Freida McFadden didn‘t disappoint with this novel. There were so many twists I wasn‘t sure how it would end. Sam and Abby have been married for years and have been unsuccessful in having a baby. Monica, Abby‘s assistant volunteers to be a surrogate for them. Lots of things go wrong, of course. The characters were wrapped up some I liked and others were not good humans. 4/5
I saw the end coming with this 🤣 I think I've read that much Freida McFadden books that I actually have her mindset going in now.
Still an enjoyable read which is perfectly paced. I always find FM's epilogues are wild. Just when you think everything is sorted.....BAM... epilogue... all goes west 🤣
I groaned through most of this book and its cliches, but I did not see the culprit coming!!! I saw the red herring and still think he‘s a creeper. Man, Frida got me again in the end. Book #102 in 2024
This one got me! I thought I had it figured out but no, Freida never makes it that easy. A few twists and always a satisfying ending…Frieda does it again 😊
