Really enjoyed, unlike the first one I did not see the major plot twist. Read it very fast and kept my interested stayed up late to finish and excited for the third. Feel like most second books can be boring but not the case really enjoyed!

Like the other book in this series, this had lots of twists and turns, many of which I didn’t anticipate. It was interesting and vicious and terrifyingly possible. The characters are a bit unloveable but complex and intriguing.

This was fun.

Fast-paced with just enough depth to keep me hooked, I flew through this bad boy in a day and honestly liked it better than the first - it was far less predictable, with characters you truly get what they deserve. 

Millie has big June vibes to me, with a little soul crushing victim mentality thrown in for good measure.

All in all, enjoyable. A quick read that will definitely pull you out of your slump.
