The appearance of calm demanded an endless campaign of violent intervention.

However this book was not for me. I think the character is very well defined and in the middle (about 150 pages in until more or less the end) I really enjoyed it. Even though I did not like Alex, the protagonist (who likes someone so adept at lying?), I was rooting for her at the end. But it took really long to get me interested (I persevered out of stubbornness) at the beginning and I found the ending deeply underwhelming.
Everyone has their own taste, but I would recommend starting with one of her previous books if it’s the first time you are reading Cline! Hope you enjoy whichever one you pick!
