Great story. McFadden always has twists and turns and you think you know where they are going and then you don’t!
Always entertaining. - Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5

The storyline was cheesy. I think anyone with a brain would have jumped right to the end of Victoria’s diary once you read that the husband was starting to be abusive… and then would have connected the dots almost immediately. Not my favorite - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5

Though the author is a good story teller there are again some major logical leaps. The backbone of the story together with different twists and turns are fairly well made but often lacking the time frame to make sense. Since there is no particular depth to the characters and their surrounding environment it's a good read for killing time. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5

Yes this was a good one. As usual for this author, don't take anything for granted! I really liked the narrator, especially the soft voice she used for Victoria. A few tiny flaws in the plot but nothing that spoils it. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5

This was a horrible book. I fast forward during most of it. I didn't care for the writing. Also the male voices were beyond awful. No bueno over all.
