The dual perspectives were both very engaging and the ending came together well. I definitely wanted to keep reading to see how it all wrapped up.

Megan Goldin is an auto-buy author. The first book I read by her was Stay Awake. She does an amazing job at character building and touching on subjects matters like sexual assaults or mental health conditions. These topics are normalized in Megan’s stories. I found myself both times rooting for the main characters, and the side characters, wishing them all a happy and successful outcome.
I am looking forward to reading the sequel, and I hope our main character Rachel continues to fight the good fight.
