pickI‘m still hooked on Freida McFadden‘s books. I chose to give the Housemaid series a pause and read The Perfect Son. It was another great one! Freida delivers that unexpected twist I‘ve come to rely on. The twist in this book literally stopped me in my tracks.

pickDecember 23, 2024 Finished! A book in two days? That is a record. But it is no surprise that I read a Frieda McFadden book in TWO DAYS. I read most of it yesterday and then like the last 100 pages today. So let's talk about the ending shall we? Hmmmm Idk how much I can share but I will say I was caught off guard. It was an unexpected ending. I am only going to say I was shook 😆 I would give this book 5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
December 23, 2024 More important key info has evolved from Dawn. Dawn and Caleb are a couple. Dawn met Caleb through Mia. Caleb is Mia's half brother. Dawn had crush on Caleb in high school and Mia was Dawn's ONLY friend. Natalie had bullied Mia so Dawn felt like the right thing to do was get revenge back and put Natalie behind bars... Natalie is still behind bars, likely for a crime that she didnt commit. Will she be in prison for life or not?
December 23, 2024 Ok. The events just got twisted. I am in for a good twist. I have reached page 264 and Part II of the book starts on page 253. Chapter 45 is Dawn, which means that Dawn is still alive and Dawn or Caleb pretended that Dawn was dead when actually Dawn replaced herself with someone else. "The body of Dawn Schiff. Or so they think. They're going to figure out it's not you sooner or later" (page 264)
December 22, 2024 Last post for today, I promise. Natalie was caught by Seth ber boss for embezzling money and lying about how the vitamins help people look better and feel better. Natalie is dangerous and mean. Is she the killer in Dawns' death OR did someone in the office frame Natalie? We still do not know. As of Chapter 43, the detective is joined by his crew as they search her house for evidence of any objects that may have been used.
December 22, 2024 (continued from last post) For some reason, my gut is thinking that someone framed Natalie for killing Dawn by placing a ceramic turtle inside her laundry hamper when she left her door unlocked. WHO could it be? Caleb? Seth? Seth's wife? Natalie's best friend Kim? Dawn's close friend Mia? Time will tell 👀
December 22, 2024 Yes yes yes I have reached Chapter 41; page 231. This is more than half of the book. So far Dawn has a changed mindset and disliking towards Natalie because initially when Natalie introduced herself, she was nice. Everyone liked her. Then she began bullying Dawn and word spread in the office that she was bullying her since she was different and strange. Dawn really doesnt like her. The defective makes visits. Is Natalie guilty?
December 22, 2024 Now I have reached page 114 and the detective has asked three suspects: Seth, the manager of Vixed, which sells nutritional vitamins, the bf of Natalie, Caleb, and Natalie herself. Natalie is feeling very sick to her stomach whenever the detective comes into her office building. Does he suspect that she killed Dawn? Because Dawn is nowhere to be found. Dawn is a strange person according to Natalie but why would Natalie kill her?
December 22, 2024 Just started reading the book and I am already hooked. Things are going down as of page 80. So far Natalie, who is Dawn Schiff's coworker, has gone to Dawns' house and tried to see if Dawn was there. There was no sign of Dawn but LOTS OF BLOOD. When questioned by police and the dectective, Natalie said that was there with her bf all night the day that Dawn had gone missing. "You see her everyday. But do you really know her?"
so-soIn some ways this book was good but in a lot of ways, this book was confusing, complicated, and all over the place. Not my favorite read. 🤷🏼♀️
Also, yay to only 2 more days till Christmas! 🎄
