It took me a while to get used to all the different characters, and sometimes I had to take a break when I got so angry with the male character. But at the very final end, it all fell into place

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!
