Yeah, my friend Celeste is pretty badass. If you cheat on her, she’ll frame you and have you ARRESTED for corporate espionage.

Okay this book was insane??? Silly little me, thinking her friend Lily actually made it her life’s mission to take down Zane after how he treated Celeste their whole childhood. I thought she gathered intel from the inside to have Zane arrested and then lied about boinking him to Celeste when she killed herself. 

NOPE! She actually just had BPD and a made up disease that made her think she was in a relationship with Zane. Celeste really DID frame him for corporate espionage. HAHAH How was no one absurdly proud of her for that? What a badass.

Also, I’m all for angst but a good 30% of this book could’ve been cut. Per usual, I think someone should’ve helped Maura tighten up the plot. Oh well. Still fun!
