The Boyfriend

Wrote a review for

This book is exactly why I drop everything when Freida releases something new. I went in expecting a fast, twisty thriller—and still wasn’t prepared for how completely it would pull me in.

The pacing is relentless in the best way, with short chapters that make it impossible to “just read one more.” Every time I thought I had it figured out, the script is flipped and made me question everything again. The tension builds so naturally that by the final stretch, I was fully locked in and slightly suspicious of everyone.

What really stood out is how addictive and cleverly constructed the story is—it’s the kind of book you fly through, then immediately want to talk about (without spoiling anything, of course).

If you love psychological thrillers with jaw-dropping twists and characters you’re never quite sure you can trust, this one absolutely delivers.

Drowning in Paper Flowers

Wrote a review for

This book really snuck up on me. It starts off soft, but quickly turns into something much deeper and more emotional than I expected.

I loved how real everything felt—the characters were messy and human, especially the daughter. She reminded me so much of teenage girls today, and that made the family dynamics hit even harder.

The pacing slowed a little in places, but the emotional payoff was worth it. This one definitely lingered with me after I finished.

If you like character-driven stories with heart and a little emotional weight, I’d recommend it.

Say You'll Remember Me

Wrote a review for

This book absolutely wrecked me in the best way. This story had everything I love—heart, humor, and characters that feel so real you forget they’re fictional. The emotional depth hit hard, but it never felt heavy for the sake of it—just honest, raw, and beautifully written.

I was completely invested from the first page, and the connection between the characters felt genuine and unforgettable. Abby Jimenez has such a gift for balancing tough, real-life themes with moments that make you smile (and sometimes laugh out loud).

This is one of those books that lingers long after you finish it—the kind you wish you could read again for the first time. Truly unforgettable. 💔✨
