Nope, its in my TBR, ive been hearing mixed reviews

People are either loving it or hating it

I enjoyed it but I would say it’s not dark romance as advertised in my opinion.

Romance isn’t a must - I’ve enjoyed a few without but the plot and story has to be strong. Otherwise it puts me off.

I'm really into psychological thrillers these days but most of them are disappointing. I find like one good one out of 10.

Is it cheesy romance or more of suspense/mystery?

Hey Lizzie, I have some questions regarding the besties challenge...

1. Does it have to be one person each suggesting a book, or can one person suggest both books (of course, only if the other buddy is fine with it and wants to read both of those books), like for example if I give a list of suggestions, and my buddy can choose 2 books from there or suggest their own. No, the idea is to have suggestions from both buddies, so each can feel accommodated and represented.

2. Is discussing the book in the thread enough or we need to give a proper review at the end with 2 quotes like previous themes? No, a review or quotes are not needed, just general discussion, thoughts etc will work. Similar to how other Buddy read threads work.

3. Will it count if both of the books we read are from the same series, like reading a trilogy together for eample? Or will you only count that as one book? Yeah books from the same series are fine provided they are published as separate books. But, if it’s a suggestion from one buddy, then only one book needs to be counted. The other book will be a suggestion from the other buddy.

4. What if I have already started a book and want to continue it, and my buddy also decides to read it with me for this challenge, will it still count even though I have already started it before August? We want both buddies to start and finish the 2 books during the month of August so no, books that you started earlier won’t work.

5. Can we re-read books with our buddy if we have already read them? Sure, re-reading is fine.

This! I find most disappointing because they start of really well and become predictable way too early sometimes.

I then don't want to continue reading it

There is some suspense and mystery, but I found it's more romantic comedy with the author attempting shades of darkness. Its a one time entertaining read so I would recommend it to give it a try.

Hmmm im not a fan of romcom much but I'' give it a try for the suspense.

Have you read any freida McFadden books?
