Homegirl had the intuition and follow through of a box of cereal BUT It was a fun fast paced thriller and the twists were pretty good! Definitely a good book for if you’re in a slump and need something quick to read! After all Frieda is the Queen of popcorn thrillers! - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5

The ending came out of nowhere!!! Storyline is almost predictable, but keeps you engaged. The main character was annoying to me. She was just. ugh...dumb and whiny.. But hey.. ??♀️.. There is a twist at the end that is quite a surprise.. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5

It sounds to me like there is a future, boiling little serial maker in the making, If that is where this book is heading. If so then I would love to continue watching it unfold ; very well written book. I enjoyed it up until the very last moment, which is very rare for me to do. So thank you. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5

Actually i was shocked by the ending, i liked it very much, but I have some notes
The writing style it is almost exactly like ( Never lie ) , i mean : the Beginning of the book the characters has almost the same personality
2- i hate the time and how she jumps past and presents, ut is makes me annoyed actually
But at all i loved it - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5

I loved this book and I cannot get enough of Frieda’s books. The narrator is so good. Really draws you in and has you on the edge several times. I’ve also listened to The Boyfriend and The Teacher and really loved those just as much. - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5

Dude…main character is an idiot, but that’s on purpose I assume. Super unrealistic and silliness throughout…but it was entertaining. Read like a young adult novel - very basic. I’ve noticed becoming a trend with Frieda’s books. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5
