I realized while reading this that I'm not a fan of non linear timelines and flashbacks. Tom a while to get into the meat of the story but once it got there it wasn't bad!

This book was a lot of fun and had a lot of twists and turns that I personally wasn’t expecting. I didn’t find the characters particularly lovable or relatable. But there was just enough back story throughout the book to keep you hooked! Definitely a lot of fun to read.
