The Widow’s husband’s secret lie - Freida McFadden

This book had me ROLLING on the floor. I had never read a Satirical Novella before but this was a marvelous start to it and I’ll definitely be looking for more! Especially if Freida makes it! (Satirical Novella)

Pond Water - Brenda(FireEagle) Biddix Ryan Mileti

This book really surprised me! I wasn’t expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised and impressed by the writing. It’s different than anything I’ve read before. I originally bought it to support the author who has Parkinson’s disease, but the book was good enough that I bought the next two. (Thriller)

The Housemaid - Freida McFadden

This whole series was marvelous! I loved every bit of it from start to finish! I can’t even pick which one was my favorite. Freida McFadden is a genius when it comes to writing thrillers. I’m so excited for the movie adaptation. (Thriller)

This book was absolutely everything. I LOVED this book. If you have extreme anxiety and a dark sense of humor then you’ll probably love this. The main character, Gilda was extremely relatable and socially awkward and I was shook at some of the absurd things she would say. I felt so seen and underst
