Thoughts: Freida, you have done it again! Although I felt the first half of the book was a bit slow, I absolutely loved the second half. Freida sure knows how to write plot twists; I thought I had it, but nope, haha. I really enjoyed the characters in this book, and I did not predict the ending at all. 

Synopsis: Dawn Schiff is strange. At least, everyone thinks so at Vixed, the nutritional supplement company where Dawn works as an accountant. She never says the right thing. She has no friends. And she is always at her desk at precisely 8:45 a.m. So when Dawn doesn’t show up to the office one morning, her coworker Natalie Farrellβ€”beautiful, popular, top sales rep five years runningβ€”is surprised. Then she receives an unsettling, anonymous phone call that changes everything... It turns out Dawn wasn’t just an awkward outsiderβ€”she was being targeted by someone close. And now Natalie is irrevocably tied to Dawn as she finds herself caught in a twisted game of cat and mouse that leaves her wondering: who’s the real victim? But one thing is incredibly clear: somebody hated Dawn Schiff. Enough to kill.
