Enjoyed isn't quite the right word for this book, but it kept my attention and I think overall made a good thriller. It also surprised me a few times.

I went into this as a buddy-read and am SO thankful that I did. Having someone to vent to as the story got whacky helped me not be angry about it. I found our protagonist is a poor-protagonist - I didn't find myself rooting for her, nor do I think she displayed any growth from beginning to end. I found the twist fun, but it wasn't all the way developed and so the story didn't quite line up. Further, I found the character development seriously lacking - no one has any personality, and when they do they aren't consistent WITH THEIR CHARACTER. A part of me found this frustrating, and a part of me just chalked it up to not doing enough on the back-end to help the story come together. I think this really could have been something.
