dark tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes

• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.5

This book was suspenseful enough for me to keep on reading, and keep me on the edge of my seat. But, I felt like it could’ve reached the plot twist way sooner instead of rushing it at the end. While the plot twist wasn’t what I thought and somewhat unexpected, it was underwhelming. Some details were totally irrelevant and the spicy scenes were waaay to explicit and unnecessarily descriptive.

I actually, rather grudgingly, have to give this a good rating. It's ridiculous, it's batshit crazy. It made me laugh at moments it shouldn't have *because* it was batshit crazy. But it did have me invested and the ending did actually get me. I wasn't expecting that. And the writing was good barring the profound amount of sex and absurdity.

Fast paced, good twists, and if you read Colleen Hoover for her spicy scenes this book is no exception. But it’s dark and twisted for sure.
