    • Another twisted sensation! Must read!
Format: Paperback
McFadden did it again with another striking, twisted sensation that will keep you on the edge of your seat and guessing through throughout the novel. The twists throughout were phenomenal, and the character buildup was insane. 10/10!

    • Odd man out
Format: Kindle
This was a good read. I enjoyed the plot and the twists throughout the book. I really thought I knew who was a part of it, but I was wrong at the end. There was for sure a love hate relationship with each main character throughout the book. But I have to say that in the end, Dawn was my favorite. She was the real MVP. ... show more

    • Karma on a mean girl-or is there a twist?
Format: Kindle
Natalie is the most successful salesperson at her health and beauty products company. She is beautiful and charismatic. She hosts a yearly 5K run for cerebral palsy, in honor of her childhood friend Amelia who died of it. The story starts with her strange cubical mate Dawn who obsessively loves turtles, missing from her desk. As she is also obsessively punctual, Natalie is shocked to not see her there. Dawn’s phone rings and Natalie answers it to hear a weak cry for help, then the line goes dead. Could that be Dawn? She encounters her new office boy friend, Caleb, on her way to ask her boss, Seth, if Dawn called in sick. Caleb hasn’t seen Dawn, and Seth hasn’t heard from her either. Natalie finds a ceramic turtle on her desk that wasn’t there before, encrusted in a dried russet substance. Is someone messing with her? What does it mean? As the story unfolds, we start to see Natalie in a different light than she presents herself. She see’s herself and her motives in a more generous way than reality. We also see Dawn through her emails to her friend Mia, which paints a much different picture of Natalie, though Dawn is naive in her perceptions of Natalie-assuming a friendship and kindness that we are starting to see aren’t real. The police are starting to see Dawn as a potential murder victim, and things are pointing to Natalie as the murderer as the detective starts to investigate these emails and other pieces of evidence occurring. All of the characters involved coalesce into the finale with plenty of twists and strange surprising motives. It’s worth reading, but I gave it 3 stars instead of 4 because the motives of the characters keep changing, even at the very end. You start to root for a character, then there’s an abrupt change that is interesting but at the same time implausible. It ends with a prescient self awareness that was bleak, even when some characters get a “happy ending.” ... show more

    • Nice and accurate depiction of someone with ASD and nice and good twists.
Format: Kindle
I'm going to be honest. I love Frieda McFadden books. Even my least favorite of her books I will give a good review just because of the ease of reading them. They are what I consider "easy reads" in that I find them easy to get into. There is just something about the way she writes that keeps you interested enough till you get into the twists. It's like watching a movie that has something at the beginning that grabs you right away and gets you interested enough to see where it goes. I had read other reviews that said they were annoyed by the turtles and talk of turtles. Honestly...I found it a perfect depiction of a person on the spectrum. My son is on the spectrum. He is high functioning and most don't realize it until he stems or starts doing some of the very things that Dawn does in the book. He gets stuck on certain things. Dawn seems obsessed with turtles. My son would get stuck on something but then would move on after a while to something else...but he struggled making friends because of his quirkiness and his inability to stray from his black and white style of thinking. So in saying all of this...I found it spot on. I felt like there were enough twists and even tho I know to never make snap judgements in her stories....I still found myself saying "OMG" at some of the revelations. I had figured out some of it by the end...but there were some things that still surprised me. I took off one star only because I did figure part of it out and I only give 5 stars for my absolute favorite books. BUT, it is definitely worth reading! I read it in one day, in my spare time at work, lunch time, doctor's office and then finished up after dinner before bedtime. It's definitely one that you can finish in one go if you have a lazy day where you can just read! ... show more
