Good story and plot line. There was small bits in the story that just didn't seem necessary like the sexual activity with Brazuca but overall the story was good. I think it missed having a reunion of some kind with Bonnie but I understand that there is likely a follow on book or this may have happened to show that Nora's initial intentions were only ever to find Bonnie and make her safe, not to build a relationship. The short chapters really paced the book well but the parts / sections didn't really make sense as I didn't feel they were sectioning areas or specific time periods. 

Overall, a well-paced story that was worth reading!
