I have loved all Freida books and this one was no exception. I read it within a few hours, and I loved the plotline. I haven't heard much about this book so I was excited to read it, and it lived up to what I imagined. I did not expect the ending, and it was amazing. The MMC was a pedo and a creep, and I was shocked at how many students he had been with, especially since his wife worked at the same school. I HIGHLY recommend this book to everyone who loves Freida's writing.

Quotes:
- “Digging a grave is hard work.”
- “You know things are seriously bad when even ice cream doesn’t help.”
- “But we’re never going to be able to be friends again. Things will never be the way they used to be between the two of us. Not since Hudson helped me kill my father.”
- “I recite to myself the poem he once wrote for me many years ago, back when I was fifteen years old and he was my English teacher”
- “never met anyone genuinely special before. And now I’m thirty-eight, and I’m meeting my soulmate for the first time, and she’s only sixteen.”
- “Standing inside a grave feels like bad luck. We all end up in one of these holes eventually, but you also don’t have to tempt fate. Sadly, it’s unavoidable right now.”
- “After sliding into a pair of pantyhose, I slip my feet into a pair of black Jimmy Choo stiletto pumps. It’s only after I’ve got them on my feet that I notice Nate is watching me, his brown tie hanging loose around his neck. “Eve,” he says. I already know what he’s going to say, and I’m hoping he won’t say it. “Hmm?” “Are those new shoes?” “These?” I don’t lift my eyes. “No. These are years old. In fact, I think I wore them on the first day of school last year.” “Oh. Okay…”

Tropes:
- Inappropriate Teacher/Student Relationship
- Unravelling Marriage
