I won’t lie I struggled to get into the story at the beginning of the book and to keep picking it up. The beginning was slow and long winded and one of the FMC was hard for me to relate to. However around 70% the story really starts chugging along and has the perfect ending.

Pretty much The Great Gatsby with a bit of a mystery and drama. None of the characters are likeable but the drama is fun. The pace is a little unbearable tho. I like Sophie, but she's the only tolerable character
