I LOVED the first ¾ of this book. The story was gripping and the characters were well developed. I was sucked into the story and didn’t want to read too fast because I didn’t want it to end.

Then it started to unravel.

I did not enjoy this author’s writing style. It was simplistic and I hate when authors write stupid women. There’s no nice way to say this but Meredith is an idiot who is incapable of making a decision for herself and if she does, it’s guaranteed to be a bad one. It is difficult to root for a character when you are continually rolling your eyes at everything they do. The story is completely implausible. Would not recommend.

Absolutely craziness! I loved the story being told from different perspectives. The way the ending was built up was phenomenal. I do think that the ending felt rushed, but I think that all of the strings were tied up and the story was ready to be done. Fantastic read all around. I finished it in two days and barely put it down.

I couldn’t put this down. This was such great writing. Would have been five stars if it included Leo’s last POV at the end.
