This book is missing two important things, IMO:
 

 
1. We never find out any detail regarding Alex' history with Dom. What did she do? How much money does she owe him? What exactly is their relationship? All the vague hints seem to set up a big reveal... which never happens.

2. A decent ending. We're left hanging, as if there's going to be a sequel. I don't think there's going to be a sequel.

 The more I think about this book the more I viscerally dislike it. It was intellectually vacant. It was basic and prefunctory. There was a totally unnecessary plot point with SA of an under 18 year old. The POV was so so white woman it was hard to engage with. The MC was an awful person who did bad stuff and made bad choices; which sometimes I’m on board with but give me a reason. I wish I’d never picked it up.

There is a part about the characters finding a lost dog. The dog eventually gets lost again in an anticlimactic way, but I just pretended that someone found him and his owner.
