I’ve put off reading this book for a while but ended up finishing it in one day because I was so hooked! Plot twists galore and so many times my breath was held in anticipation!

I absolutely loved the ending. It was so satisfying seeing everything be revealed and the way everything ended up working out. I hated Oliver so much though and I was hoping he would die the whole time while reading this book.

So Oliver LaVoy may possibly be the worst character to ever exit… 
The twist and turns are very fun and it was a pretty intense atmosphere. Arthur being involved is kind of a flop though, some of his actions honestly don’t make a lot of sense and it all just being swept up with the “I didn’t know my brother would actually do that” (rip Don and Joyce, y’all deserved better) bro you are in the mafia… overall pretty fun though, really like that Red got that resolution with her mom, girl deserved that (even though she got SHOT BY A COP)!
