One thing you know when picking up a new book by this author is that you are in for some seriously twisted storytelling. This was no exception. I’m trained now to think of the most outlandish direction this could go in and follow her down that path.
The psychological thriller is told first from the point of view of April, a wife and mother, who has a baking show where she shares the secrets to her delicious desserts. She has some good friends in the neighborhood but things suddenly take a turn when she starts receiving threatening text messages from an unknown number. Now, her old friends seem to be shunning her and making horrible accusations.
Then, a point of view shift to one of the women, Julie, who was April’s best friend. She tells a completely different story to the version we heard from April. Let the drama begin.
Out of nowhere, a totally crazy epilogue that left me shaking my head.
Reader beware — this is exactly what you will expect from Freida McFadden and at the very least, you will be entertained.
I listened to the audiobook while following along in the e-book and thought the narrator did a decent job of reading the story but sometimes hard to be sure who was speaking since so many females in the novel.
This is a standalone and is not part of any series.
Genre - psychological thriller
