quick good read!
Format: Kindle
Twist upon twist, very good! Couldn’t put it down and when I did all I could think about was who what and why! I needed to know haha

Want to Know a Secret? is another addictive thriller from Freida McFadden that kept me turning pages late into the night. The story is packed with suspense, secrets, and plenty of twists that make you question every character’s motives. Just when I thought I had everything figured out, the plot took another unexpected turn. McFadden does an excellent job building tension and creating characters that feel real and relatable. The short chapters and fast pace make this an easy book to get lost in, while the mystery keeps you guessing until the very end. If you enjoy psychological thrillers with shocking reveals, plenty of drama, and a twist you won’t see coming, Want to Know a Secret? is definitely worth the read. Freida McFadden once again proves why she’s one of my go-to thriller author ... show more

This Author is Normally Amazing but This One's Rather a Dud
I've read nearly all of Freida McFadden's books. I think I only have 2 more to go. All but a couple of them were outstanding, as in, pretty near perfect. But hey, no one is perfect all the time! She did have a couple of duds, and this is one of them. While reading, I actually stopped and looked again at the cover, to make sure I hadn't picked up an SE Lynes book thinking it was McFadden. (SE Lynes' 'Valentina' and 'The Housewarming' were masterpieces, but the next 2 books I read by her were junior-high-level 'mean girl' drivel.) Honestly, for a minute there I actually thought that 'Want to Know a Secret' must have gotten the wrong author's name on it! What I love about MOST of Freida McFadden's books is that the characters are usually very sharp, the plots twisty but believable, and the surprises intelligently crafted and FIT; they didn't just totally negate the entire book with some implausible twist at the end. Not so with this one. Do all wealthy moms really act like that? What a stereotype! They were all just a bunch of superficial, jealous, catty, gossipy 13-year-olds! Also, if an author lets the reader inside the mind of a character, it's quite a jolt to suddenly find out that the character was hiding the truth from the reader. That is a very cheap, unfeasible way to write a twist into the story. Either let us know what the character is thinking or don't, but don't resort to such cheap tricks! None of McFadden's other books were like that. I just realized, hey, maybe this was her very first book and I should cut her some slack, but Nooooo, the book was written in 2021. It really does feel like she was just too busy to meet her publisher's deadline and got a ghostwriter to write the first 2/3 of the book for her. Speaking of which, did I mention how tedious and BORING the first 2/3 of the book was? I almost didn't finish it, which would be a first for me and this author. The only reason I hung in there was that I knew Freida's trademark twist was coming, and it did. It wasn't enough to redeem the book, though there was some poetic justice. Unless you like junior-high, rich kid gossip, skip this one. But DO read Freida's other books! The Housemaid, Never Lie, The Perfect Son, The Surrogate Mother, The Locked Door...masterpieces all! And her others are all great too, Freida, sorry to be so scathing, but I have bought nearly all of your books and it is you who have set such a high standard for yourself. This one was just, well, a dud compared to your others. EDIT: I raised my review from 2 stars to 3, because the thought just occurred to me that maybe Freida made her characters shallow intentionally, to convey her point. I just finished Suicide Med whose main characters are college students, and their personalities really do seem like college students. So maybe Freida went a little overboard making these characters shallow, gossipy rich women. So ok, 3 stars then. Still Not a very enjoyable book, compared to her others. ... show more

Welp… I didn’t expect that epilogue 😅. Yet again, I devoured this book. Was it always believable? Nah… Did I have a good page-turning time? Yup 🤣🤷🏻♀️ even if I didn’t agree with everything happening on page 😅. Emily has a YouTube show and gets along with everyone around her. She has a husband she loves and a son she adores. When her neighbor passes away, a new couple and their son move in. She be friends the Neighbor, Maria, and continues living her best life. It all seems great until things are not… She starts receiving messages from an unknown number, and there’s no way she can trace who it is 😬. Things are happening at school with her son and her “loving” And “hardworking” husband isn’t being who he needs to be 😑. As soon as she can, she’s gonna confront the person that’s been torturing her… And who knows, she might have to resort to violence 😅. What I liked: — that I couldn’t stop reading 👀. I couldn’t even go to sleep lol because I wanted to keep reading (one more chapter doesn’t always cut it when I’m reading her books 🤣🤣🤣) — bad guys got what they had coming to them 🤷🏻♀️ — the epilogue (I didn’t exactly find a believable, but I was surprised 👀) — looks can be deceiving — the comeuppance 😈 — that Julie does what she wants to do in life 👏🏻 What I didn’t like: SPOILERS — Emily… leave your freaking cheating husband 🤬. He’s done this before, he’s doing it now, he’s gonna do it again 🤷🏻♀️. Why would you want to stay with him? Seriously 🥴 — ewww to sleeping with a cheating husband after he impregnated another 🤬🥴 — the epilogue😅. I know I wrote that I was surprised, But I don’t know how believable this really is 🤷🏻♀️. Like, you have to be pretty strong, right? 😬 and what about splatter? Like it just disappeared, or didn’t happen? Come on 🤦🏻♀️ — bullies 😑😐 Overall, I couldn’t stop reading, even if I didn’t like everything that was happening ... show more

A fast paced, twisty thriller that kept me guessing. Quick, entertaining read with plenty of suspense and unexpected turns. Freida has done it again. The ending was a bit of a stretch so thats why it wasn't a full five stars but this book kept me guessing the entire way.
