Abby is stupid. Period. Not just that, she is also selfish. All the nightmares that came into her life were because of her. I don't like the ending either. It's so far-fetched I feel like strangling someone to show how frustrating this book is ? Why are the women protagonists in her books mostly naive and stupid???? - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5

Unfortunately the female characters act the same in all of her books. Was hoping for a change in personality. Same stories written just a little differently. - Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5

This is the 3rd book I've read from the author and while the other books were really good this one wasn't. The plot was obvious, the ending wasn't that surprising and the characters are bland. Feels like a story that's been told a million times. - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5

I adore this author. However, this particular book made the protagonist who is supposed to be a “highly educated, smart and talented woman look to be for lack of another word absolutely stupid. It’s very rare. I find myself not wanting to finish a book, but I forced myself to finish this book. For someone that is so highly educated,, and I struggled with myself to get through to this part of the book, but when she turned up positive on a urine test. Why didn’t she just go to an outside lab and have it taken on her own. I don’t know this just was not one of my favorite books. I will say I have heard better from this author and I didn’t like it. - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5

I always enjoy Freida's tales. The narrator is good except it irritates me how she mispronounces certain words all the time. For example, she always pronounces abdomen as abdomum. It's a small thing. Just annoying. Still enjoyed the book. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5
