⁀➷ digging a grave is hard work.

hard work that would be worth every second for me if it meant i could bury every single character in this book🤸🏻‍♀️

i haven’t written a review for awhile, pls bear with me😣

this book was so bad that it scared me away from all books for a month and that pains me to say because i LOVE freida, i do…but bestie what was this😭idk, MAYBE it’s just me. i read two freida books back to back. hated the inmate because of the fmc…plot was super good, but the fmc was insufferable. then i read this one immediately after because of how unsatisfied i felt and ended up hating it more😃the plot, the characters, everything…even the plot twist which made me so sad because usually freida’s plot twists save the rating😔

we have, eve, who’s married to her husband, nate. surprise surprise, they’re both teachers…among other things🤢this book welcomes its readers with a look in on eve’s “perfect life” with her husband who kisses her three times a day and fucks her once a month😃why? oh idk probably because this pedophile is fucking his students. oh but wait! PLOT TWIST! SO IS EVE. yeah, the least thrilling, but very disturbing plot twist. then we addie yawn, why did she even have a pov?, one of nate’s students he was…yeah. need i say more? no. she’s this troubled girl who gets bullied in school because of a rumor that she was fooling around with her old math teacher…which btw, that felt like a plot hole?? was that ever confirmed? like that whole thing confused me because in her pov she was dead set on that shit never happening, but the teacher got fired? idk. that shit must’ve flew right over my head and landed with the huge pile of fucks i didn’t give about any of these characters🤩it was disturbing and i seriously felt like i should’ve went to jail for even reading it.

freida wanted to take a ride on the risky side i guess. this just didn’t feel like it was written by her tho. was it fast paced as always? yes and thank god for that otherwise i would’ve dnf’d it. there was a moment in the beginning of the book where eve is thinking about how her husband is so much more attractive than her and then kind of just body shames herself. the body description hit home😭felt like she described me. still mad at you for that one freida. not cool😩i might be acting a bit dramatic but as someone who suffered from anorexia as a child all the way to my teen years and who now suffers from body dysmorphia…reading that small part was triggering. all bodies are beautiful🫶🏼

❥ 𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓇𝒶𝓁𝓁 𝓉𝒽𝑜𝓊𝑔𝒽𝓉𝓈:
it was snooze fest. painfully boring. thinking about it now…idk why i didn’t dnf it. all this book did for me was put me in a reading and review slump for a month.

⁀➷ i am so lucky. i have a beautiful house, a fulfilling career, and a husband who is kind and mild mannered and incredibly handsome. and as nate pulls the car onto the road and starts driving in the direction of the school, all i can think to myself is that i hope a truck blows through a stop sign, plows into the honda, and kills us both instantly.

i hoped so too, but unlike her…i wasn’t so lucky. could’ve killed two pedos with one stone and saved me from reading almost 400 pages.
