Anyways...this book wasn't great, but it was fast paced and kept me interested for basically the whole book. I didn't really connect with the characters at all because I think they act pretty terribly for no reason (which I think is kind of the point), but they weren't super likable. These characters are morally grey (and sometimes just bad people) with bad pasts who do not good things.
I thought that Rika was treated terribly for no reason at all - and even the justification provided by the Horsemen doesn't justify the abuse and harassment she went through. I mean, they did some sick things to her. I felt like the turnaround between her and Michael wasn't all that smooth and it went from hatred to love wayy to quickly.
ALSO, why is this man literally a professional basketball player? Based on his history, literally how does he have time for that, I mean he spends the whole book thinking about Rika or terrorizing her and *allegedly* he's on one of the best teams in the NBA? Sir does not have time for that. Out of everything in this book, this was the most unrealistic part for me lol.
I liked the timeline changes between the past and present because it provided a lot of insight on the characters and the plot was certainly interesting, but besides that, this wasn't amazing.
