It took me ages to finish this book... I was thinking about DNF on page 40, I should have listen to my gut...
The MC was awful! I hated how she was super narcissistic, self-centred and she thought she was smarter and above everybody else:
I'm sorry if you suffer a really rough past but is it enough to kill all your relatives? Even the ones that don't know about you? I mean... I could understand the father and her grandparents but the other ones? And her moral compass? Omg total off balance... Crazy psycho vibes 🤯
The ending was predictable and I couldn't care less if she would get a happy or a sad ending. That was how much I was engaged in the story... Just awful...

I loved the book, I even quite liked the twist. I hated the ending.
Why on earth would we not get to see Grace’s reaction? We just get told ‘this is what I’ve done and there’s nothing you can do about it’ from the most unlikeable character in the whole book.
I knew I hated Harry from the moment I read ‘I don’t have a problem with any of this, by the way. I believe that business should regulate itself, and that legislation designed to protect workers exponentially stifles innovation and growth.’
Grace is not a great person by any means but Harry is way worse and so it’s infuriating to let him have his way and that’s that.
I understand Bella was setting this book up for the sequel, I’m hoping that will redeem this forced-for-shock-value ending.

Well written but intensely frustrating book. Undeniably engaging, I couldn't put this down despite the main character being dislikeable. The irritation of the twist ending removes much of the book's purpose and steals the main character of their agency, undermining the whole book

Strong start but flat ending - a weak attempt at a twist.
