What??? Glad it Ended😝

This story started out good and made interesting progress until about the last hour or so. The ending is horrific and extremely confusing. Characters seem to switch identities at the end. Joel, one of the male characters is very weak. He apparently has dated 2 or 3 of the women out of their group of six. He can’t stand up for or defend his new girlfriend from one of the evil women. Characters complaining about being poor or not being able to afford a sandwich made no sense. None of the characters were likable as the lot was weak, selfish and phony. The narration was okay, but really didn’t distinguish voices among the female characters. Extremely difficult to know when characters are speaking from memory or first person. The male voices sounded goofy. Attempts to dramatize were laughable.

Enjoyable

It was an easy listen! I found plot to be fun and book kept me entertained. I had no problem following twists and I always appreciate a grand finale I enjoyed the final twist on last pages of book!

3.5 stars

I have read so much hype about Frieda McFadden's books that I feared her ratings were just so much Kindle promotion. I was pleasantly surprised. I listened to the audio version of the book and really enjoyed it. The story line turned out slightly more complicated than I expected. The writing was good but the storyline became confusing at times due to changes in the speaker and time period. A written version might have been easier. The characters' developed slowly as elements of the plot were revealed, none were particularly likeable due to a specific weakness or character flaw. Overall, it was an entertaining listen.

PLOT TWIST

I thought I had predicted the plot twist, but I was wrong. Way wrong. My hats off to the author....excellent writing. They Way you wrote the book from the characters' point of view had me fooled. Great book.

Another Great Book by McFadden

While reading this book I listened carefully to not be surprised by any twists that the author seems to love using. She surprised me again! The Ex is a fast paced read that makes you want to continue and not pause to do your normal chores, go to work, or even go to sleep. I finished it in a day and am ready to hook my teeth into another Freida McFadden book. I have now finished four of her books and am excited so has much more for me to enjoy.

Confusing

It wasn’t until towards the end it seemed confusing but I caught on and now looking forward to The Inmate!

Too many holes in the story line

Huge fan of Frieda but this one was not my favorite- a lot of holes in the story line so I didn’t love the twist
