I think for the thriller aspect, this book was really great, it definitely has parts that had me anxious to read (in a good way.) It unfortunately also had a lot of parts that made me cringe to read.  I just think a lot of the spicier chapters were super unrealistic in a way that actually made them unenjoyable for me.  All in all it’s not the *worst* or the best, I started off really liking it and i found myself coming back to it but i’m unsure if i’ll buy the second book.
