CW: death, sexual assault/date rape, adult/minor relationship, catfishing, gaslighting, casual ableism, gambling addiction, abuse of power (school staff & law enforcement)

I really enjoyed this one, though i did initially have some trouble keeping up in the earlier parts. despite the clearly marked beginnings of chapters, i still found myself occasionally confused with the regular flashbacks. that could very well just be a me issue, of course, but i did want to mention it. it's a dual pov novel that goes back and forth in time with both characters, all in first person.

i am here for a con artist revenge story, and i like the way the book ended with each character quite. possibly a bit too much info-dumping right at the end which some people may not care for, but this was still highly enjoyable and found me cheering for both kat & meg.

I read this in 2 evenings and thoroughly enjoyed it.  I loved the cat and mouse game between the two main characters.  It was fascinating learning some of the ways con artists work.
