I did mostly enjoy it, but I really had to suspend disbelief for a lot of it. Spoilers to follow:


It did not make sense to me that they didn’t put her in a white room and then near the end just let her out and about after a few days in the house. And warning after warning about the rules that she continuously broke with no repercussions. Her inner dialogue also got a bit redundant and she was kinda dumb to be “the girl who got out.” I was surprised that Bradly was part of the family, but I was also surprised that he didn’t suspect she put the pill in his drink at the end. Why would he think she would still want to be with him once she learned he was an Ivory? And he gave her the pill, so he knew she had it. It just didn’t make sense to me. And I didn’t like that she wanted all white food when escaped, especially since she had never been a caged girl in the first place. Dunno. The trafficking part was dark and definitely had some dark moments. Ian also threatened to come back to have his way with her after she married his son, but then they killed themselves at the wedding because that was always the plan? Again it just does not make sense to me. The story didn’t feel completely thought through.

The book was ok, but it didnt grab me like others of hers have, and I found it a bit predictable.

Not sure if I missed something. The book dragged on and I feel like nothing happened. I saw the ending from a mile away. Most of the book was just listening to the boring thoughts of the annoying main character

Started out hard to get into. I think I’m just not that into the monologue style of writing for full hour long chapters. It got more interesting as it went on. I liked the story but did not love it.

This was so boring and I feel like nothing even happened. The ending was such a let down. I had to push myself to finish it because it was so dull and when I finally got to the end, I literally said, “are you freaking me??” Save your credit on this one.

I was excited for this book. It took me two weeks to finish it just because I could not really get into it. It seemed to drag on and on before anything actually happened. Kinda boring to me.

This was my first Frieda book and I could not stop listening. So good and did not see it coming. I’ve listened to a few others and have not enjoyed quite as much as this one (they are all good) but this one was my favorite!

Kept me guessing for awhile, even though I had my suspicions about what was going on. The twist at the end is what I wasn’t expecting even though it’s pretty obvious if you really think about it. Good book and I didn’t want to stop listening.

The story was decent. Started out good, but became a little redundant and wordy towards the middle. A little predictable but not overly so. I agree the narration was the hardest part. I can’t put my finger on why. Her voice was fine. Just didn’t really fit.
