READ TW'S BEFORE READING!
The first half was too slow, I feel like. I wanted to DNF, but bc I also wanted to know the ending, I kept reading. The last half was finished in the matter of a few days, so the pace definitely picks up towards the end.
I do have to say, that Beth and Hailey were annoying at times. Both acted like immature teenagers half the time (which is okay in Hailey, bc she is literally a teen, but Beth is too old to act like that).
A good example for that was when Bethseriously expected Jonny to choose her before Hailey, like??? He know you for a few days and only slept with you once, he know Hailey for his WHOLE LIFE. You can't be mad at him, that he would choose Hailey.
The answer to the murder mystery was a bit surprising, but you could predict it towards the end. Still, not bad.
I definitely loved the attention the book brings to mmiw! Would have been nice to have an indigenous woman as a main character, too. ^^
Overall, good book, but I wouldn't necessarily recommend it to others.
