The perfect ex you wished was gone🍣🍝📚🚔🩺

⭐️Overall rating: 4/5:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Freida never does wrong. She literally doesn’t let you know the twists until she wants you too. I thought I had it figured out as per usual, but I was VERY wrong. Now the only problem I had was the context was very confusing when it was switching between the exes (this guy dated around). Now could you imagine being the new girl dating this hot doctor and feeling so in love, but at the same time have been getting blocked calls, always feeling like someone is following you, and you get hate mail with slut written all over it. I would be terrified. The main characters here alternate in perspective, and switch from the woman in love, to the doctor, to the ex who will do anything to win him back. We also are introduced to some side characters that play huge roles in this story. I honestly was so into this book, as I am with all Freida, but this one I finished in a day. The characters aren’t likable and the plot continues the thicken as the story goes on. Although you might have to reread a chapter or two (when it gets to the confusing switch at the end) it is so worth the read!!
