the twist

the book was a little slow getting started, but well worth it after getting into it

I didn’t see that coming

I enjoyed the read, this solidified Freida McFadden’s position as one of my favorite authors. I didn’t see the ending coming.

I have almost all of FM's titles in my library

I've listened on Audible to almost all of Freida McFadden's tiltes, and I always get a new one as soon as it's released. A lot of her books are great. Most of the more recent ones I've loved, but this one - to me - didn't quite make it. The Blake chapters were better, and his narration was the best. When the Christa, and then Amanda, chapters started, my liking ot the book decreased. I had an ending I was hoping for, but it didn't happen, and the ending that did happen, I wasn't happy with. Parts of the book were enjoyable, and I loved the humor! Laugh out-loud, so funny. Good side characters, and the way Malcolm kept repeating words and phrases was a great touch. I felt there was much potential for a more satisfying ending, but that wasn't realized.

plot twists

Love her books. Just when you think you know what's going to happen the whole story changes!

The twists-of course

Can’t say it was my favorite, but still couldn’t put it down. Love the way you begin to believe who done it and the next page she twists it all up in a knot. And the very very last page was fantastic! Thanks

Who's knocking

What is a roommate? Sharing a life and home with the unknown! This read keeps you guessing.

not her usual wonderful standard for me

it was much too weird until almost the end. didnt care for the characters. i usually love her stories

Recommend

Great story with lots of twists and turns. I usually have the ending figured out rather quickly but this one got me. I’d definitely recommend

Enjoyed

Slower start but great ending. Glad to have been surprised. Didn’t find the reader’s voice to sound believable.

Great audiobook!

Really enjoyed this book! Both narrators gave excellent performances. Book was good and very enjoyable. Nothing earth shattering here but really good if you’re a FM fan.
