I honestly didn't enjoy this as much as I did Cultish. It was just okay for me.

Thank you to Libro.fm for a copy of this book.
Have you ever gone into a book and thought "this premise is gonna get old quick."? Well, this DIDN'T. I was actually so involved, and emotionally invested. I almost cried relating to her. This book is great. Highly recommend 🤌🏻

No. This was staccato, lacked character building, and didn't have any feeling to it. It was like reading a medical report. The premise was interesting but it was so flat.

This was so interesting. If you enjoy understanding how language can be used and weaponized you'll like this book.

The Coworker by Freida McFadden

Didn't love this. Freida normally hits for me, but the last two I've read just didn't do it for me. This one felt more predictable and had less of her surprises that I love her books for.

A solid meh. Not a bad premise but the way it got there made me want to throw the book at least three times 😐
