This book was actually really good. There were a couple of twists, I saw a few of them coming, but the end one got me good. I did not expect that ending at all. It was a wild ride and I loved having it come from the perspective of Anna, she seemed a tad unreliable because of the pills and the alcohol but it made it super interesting.

Celebrating Jordon's birthday today. Decorated, going to pick up a pie (his request) on the way home and have a streak dinner.
