This one was difficult for me to get through. I enjoyed the dry humor but I felt it very difficult to focus on the story. Too many characters to keep up with causing me to constantly have to flip back to figure out who did what. Took me way too long to read this book as it left me feeling scatterbrained each time I picked it up. Such potential but could really use much more editing direction.

Not as good as her other titles in my opinion. If this was the first title I read fro Hepworth I would not continue with others. Not bad- but nothing special. A few good twists though!

Saved this one to read Halloween weekend which was very fun. I really enjoyed this book. It did drag a bit in the middle but the twists were great. A very enjoyable and quick read.

Love the premise of this novel but I felt like the middle of the book took way too long. To be fair- if the author was trying to make us feel the drudgery of Frieda’s year away, she succeeded. The ending seemed rushed but I was grateful to finally get there. Lots of original ideas and concepts in this novel- it just could have used to lose a good portion of the middle.
