machadofam8's review against another edition
One of the worst books I read this year. I finished it simply because I felt like I had given so much of my time to it already I may as well finish.

This one really had a good hold on me...but then. But then. *deep sighs*

Somewhere between 2 1/2 and 3 stars. Paula is a rideshare driver who picks up and drops off a famous singer. She doesn’t recognize him at the time and later realizes who he is. She ends up jumping to several conclusions, taking actions based on those assumptions that end up being really bad decisions. I stuck with it to see what happened in the end, but the characters were superficial and the plot had several holes.

Paula works for a ride share as a second job trying to earn extra money for her husbands medical treatment. He was in an accident and now is wheel chair bound. One evening before she is about to clock out she receives an alert for a pick up by a person named “Lotti”. When she gets there she realizes it’s a Grammy Award winning pop singer Ryan Hooks and the woman he is meeting is not his wife. When he gets out she realizes he left his phone behind. Paula considers offering him his phone back if he pays 180k , the amount she needs to pay for her husbands experimental surgery to help her husband walk again. When a woman is found murdered in the apartment building where she dropped Ryan Hooks off at and her apartment is broken into , Paula is sure Ryan is behind it all. Paula reports her suspicions to detective Claire Phul. The book bounces from Phuls murder investigation and Paula’s story from the time she picks up Ryan and after the murder happens. The tone of this book isn’t a dark one it’s sometimes even a little funny, and Paula makes it a point to make it a point to let people know she isn’t a bad person. When she decides to insert herself into the lives of the Gold Coast apartments where she dropped Ryan off at to figure out who he was meeting it seemed reckless to me. It seemed like everyone has their own agenda minus detective Phuls. It wasn’t a heavy read and there were some thrills all and all I give three stars.

I enjoyed this one...entertaining and twisty. It lacked the extra oomph to make it a 4 star read, but it was definitely a page turner! Paula is a rideshare driver who sets out to blackmail a pop star who she gives a ride to, in order to get money to pay for a potentially life-changing surgery for her injured husband. After she inserts herself into the life of the woman he's having an affair with, she finds herself embroiled in a murder. Now she's a suspect, but she can't tell police the whole truth on account of the whole blackmail thing... Nothing groundbreaking here, but a fun story to get lost in for a little while.
