The Inmate

Another great read by Freida! Can't complain about this one; it has the classic misleading subplots, not sure what to predict, and then she absolutely pulls the rug out from under you in the last few chapters, revealing the insane plot twist. Honestly, I wasn't a fan of any of the characters in this book; Brooke annoyed me, and I found her quiet, spineless, and stupid; Shane annoyed me just as much, and I didn't know who to trust the entire time. I enjoyed flipping between chapters from past to present, discovering more about each character's depth, and found it really insightful. For me, though, the highlight of the book was the epilogue. Usually, I find them quite boring, just a quick chapter to round off the book and give it a fairy-tale ending, but in this book, it absolutely flips the storyline on its head and gives a whole different jaw dropping perspective. Once again, I wish it had been more elaborated, as I feel it would've made the whole book that bit more interesting, and made it a 5 stars for me, but otherwise I was gagged plot twist after plot twist right until the very last page. Also glad Josh got his heroic ending!!! That he stood up for Brooke when she couldn't! And as for the last sentence in the book....

this was an entertaining but complicated read. freida really knows how to hook me with every chap. i just felt uncomfortable with some of the themes involving family relationships. while i appreciate that thrillers can explore dark topics, i felt that certain choices in the story distracted me from the mystery rather than strengthening it. it kept me entertained, but the ending left me w mixed feelings.

The mystery was decent but the characters were insufferable. I hated them so much. Could not see the reason behind their actions.

Frieda’s books are not for me.

Wow, I was not expecting the very end!! The entire book was full of twists and turns, but the epilogue really drove it home! I’ll definitely be reading more from this author.

I loved the constant state of guessing I was put in during the whole story right up to the epilogue. I even adored the genuine disappointment it brought to me. One great Who dunnit!

The writing of this was very simple. Very fast paced too. Also I did not see that ending coming lol I thought I did but I did not.
