Not my favourite TJR outing. 

While I enjoyed Nina as a main character, she was missing something that made me connect with the main characters of the other TJR books I’ve read. 

The book overall had too many side characters and I felt like a lot of things were brought up only to be dropped immediately and not returned to. There were a few little plot holes sprinkled in there and, while they weren’t plot-ruining, it just felt lazy.
