I love books about con artists. This one is seen from the victim’s perspective. The story itself is a bit repetitive, but cons usually have a specific playbook. I loved how the women’s stories all intersected in the end.

This book was very clever, from a different perspective and I think it was well executed. The lost points are only because I'm not sure I "enjoyed" it because I was always frustrated or angry at the actions of the main character. Luckily, I was hiking up a mountain and used this anger to fuel me! The audiobook reading was great, Armitage did a great job and I sometimes even believed his lies before coming to my senses. What a stressful existence-lies, manipulation, alternate storylines, begging for money etc. And I wanted the reckoning so bad!

I enjoyed this read a lot. It was a bit hard to follow in the beginning with all the different relationships but it all becomes clearer. The conclusion didn’t blow me away but overall I liked all the twisted and turns and how all the pieces were tied together.

Three women are with have the exact same man in their lives and he's always asking for money, disappearing, and overall causing trouble. Ash's mom starts dating Nic a year after her dad passed away and she's suspicious and think he seems too good to be true and he was.
