4.0

This book was really fun and I enjoyed it A LOT. However, the “thriller” aspect felt like an after thought tacked onto the end and I think I would have enjoyed it more without that portion. 

The book really didn’t even get rolling until there was only like 40 pages left and everything happened SO QUICKLY. Nothing was fleshed out and it felt so disjointed. Like it was an entirely different book I’d just stumbled into. 

First like 70% was 5 stars. The ending was like 1 star. So here we are at a 4.
