Freida McFadden typically has twists that I never saw coming. This book, however a great read, was much more predictable. Perhaps I have read enough from her that I can pick up on them more.

This book was very strange. A librarian sees a couple of terms being inappropriate in the next bathroom stall. She doesn’t report them. Later the girl reports her for watching the couple. Maeve’s life gets turned upside down and nothing stays the same.

Can this book move any slower. It was like watching paint dry. Nothing ever happened. I wouldn’t have finished it but it was a book club pick. So dry.
