A mind-bending, psychological thriller from Freida McFadden, the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of The Housemaid! Lesson #1: trust no one. Eve has a good life. She gets up each day, gets a kiss from her husband Nate, and heads off to teach math at the local high school. All is as it should be. Except…Last year, Caseham High was rocked by a scandal involving a student-teacher affair, with one student, Addie, at its center. But Eve knows there is far more to these ugly rumors than meets the eye. Addie can't be trusted. She lies. She hurts people. She destroys lives. At least, that's what everyone says. But nobody knows the real Addie. Nobody knows the secrets that could destroy her. And Addie will do anything to keep it quiet. From the New York Times bestselling author Freida McFadden comes a story of twisting secrets and long-awaited revenge.

My Thoughts:

Giving this a 3.5. Definitely not my favorite Freida book but at the same time, I read it in a few hours because I couldn't put it down. The married couple this story centers around are both selfish as*holes but it's interesting to see what they'll do next. I can absolutely relate to Eve's shoe obsession and now I'm wondering if I should be concerned. I guess I don't try to steal them though so I'm probably ok, right? Shoulder shrug. Meanwhile, her husband Nate comes off as the guy who peaked in freshman year of college in English Comp. Now he's on the road to an uphill battle with hair loss and ED-it's only a matter of time, trust me. The ending had so many twists that I felt like I had whiplash and I didn't see 75% of them coming.

Was I enthralled and entertained for the majority of the book? Yes.

Did I feel pissed off at the end? I mean...yeah. At the same time, Freida killed it with the writing.
