Suffers a bit from sequel syndrome, with us thrown into a 2 year time jump after the events of Lies, plus the interlude chapters where we're also catching up on what happened to Locke in those 2 years. It jumps back and forth for half the book and, while it does all ravel up nicely into a cute lil bow, it was quite slow at times, especially the random interlude chapters about furniture; they did not need to go on for that long.

Anywho, the ending really picked up, except who I thought was the villain didn't really end up being a villain, like it was 2-3 different wankers all trynna screw Locke over which was a bit... meh. Hence the 3.5, but the .5 comes from how much I loved Jean's character this book.
