Want to Know a Secret?
From #1 internationally bestselling author Freida McFadden!
Everyone has secrets. Some are worse than others.
Influencer and baking sensation April Masterson knows the secret to the perfect gooey brownies. Or how to make key lime squares that will melt in your mouth. But if you keep watching her offline, you may find out some other secrets about April. Secrets she’d rather you didn’t know.
Like… Where did her son go when he snuck out late at night? What was she doing with the local soccer coach behind fogged windows?
And what’s buried in her backyard?
April’s secrets are enough to destroy her.
I’ll make sure of that.

This is a amazing new author to me. Love her books!!!!
Her books, Freida McFadden, are amazinglyaddictive. Just awesome! When I start one I usually can’t put it down. Sometimes it takes 2 reading sessions to finish. This book today, just a few hours. They are awesome!!!!!

Classic Freida!
Want to Know a Secret is classic Freida McFadden. This story line was an extra fun one for me with the social media and “mean girl” flair.April Masterson has a YouTube baking show. She is the talk of the town and always shows up with freshly made baked goods, whatever the event or occasion.Told from dual points of view, this domestic thriller will take the reader on a wild ride. Made up of nosey neighbors, dark secrets, mysterious text messages and some mean girl antics, this book rocks some crazy Desperate Housewives vibes.I simply could not stop and devoured this book in one sitting. While I figured out the ending, the twists just kept on coming which made it extra fun and this reader was not left disappointed!!

Thriller queen
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.As a big Freida McFadden fan, this one is a little painful to write. I usually devour her books, but this one didn’t fully work for me.It started off really strong. I was hooked in the beginning. But as the story went on, the pacing slowed down a lot and it became pretty predictable. The development felt dragged out, and once the second POV was introduced, things started to feel repetitive.I don’t mind unlikeable or unreliable characters as long as I feel engaged and not manipulated. Here, some of the character shifts felt more like they were done for shock value rather than because they made sense. The twists didn’t land for me and felt a bit unrealistic.And that ending… it was shocking, yes — but not in a satisfying way. It felt abrupt and almost desperate, like it was trying too hard to surprise the reader.I’m giving it 3 stars because I was still entertained overall (it’s Freida, after all), but if I’m being fully honest, it leans closer to a 2.5 for me.Freida is still my thriller queen — I just wish this one had hit differently.

Big Frieda Fan!
Twists and turns as we’ve come to expect from Frieda McFadden. Easy reading with enough spice to be interesting without being grossed out by sex and gore. Love all of her books. The ending had a twist. Not my favorite of all her books I have read, but it was good and I’m certainly getting another !

One story, two points of view!
This story takes place in suburbia- a place that could be where you live! What could go wrong? Freida McFadden weaves a tale that challenges you-who do you trust? Who do you believe? Who do you fear? Secrets abound in this typical “bedroom community” and they are revealed through the narratives of the main characters April and Julie. In the McFadden tradition, there are twists you will never see coming! And she saved the best for last!

Crazy ending
This book was really good. Love the twist and turns. The ending threw me totally of guard. I did kind of scream at the way some of the woman handled things. Like saying that would never happen in real life.
Sandra Farkas –
Another good one.
Kept my interest the whole time. Surprising ending but kind of silly.
Hilda –
My granddaughter loves to read . Her current favorite author is Frieda McFadden. Book arrived in timely manner
Mari –
Always good 👍🏼
Riley –
This book was GREAT. I loved every second of it. In fact, I couldn’t put it down. April is a well-off, popular suburban mother. When a new neighbor moves in next door, she starts getting scary text messages from an unknown number, claiming to know all of her secrets. And it all goes down from there!!I loved how simple this book was to read. Everything was paced very well and the characters really come to life! Suburbia isn’t what you think (; high recommend.
Reshma –
Story is amazingly twisted. It will definitely blow minds. Again Freida is a thriller Goddess. Words couldn’t describe her work.
Dina Sequeira –
Like all the books from Freida this one didn’t disappoint me, when I thought I knew everything here comes the plot twist and everything changes! But the worst is the ending😈
