I thoroughly enjoyed this. Thrillers are still a relatively new genre excursion for me--I read them on occasion, but not like some folks do who can tell the direction the plot will take with just a few breadcrumbs. I'm usually pretty surprised by the twists and turns as they come. However, with this particular novel, it didn't feel like there was much that was unexpected, except perhaps for the ending. Everything leading up to it made a lot of sense. There wasn't anything particularly jaw dropping, but it was smart, tightly woven, and interesting. The feminist aspects of it were great, and seeing assholes get theirs was even greater.
