This book was a regret for me. Lets go over some of the isses I found within this book. Fiest, I listened to it as an audiobook and it felt like such a slow, annoying burn. It wasnt the good kind of plot prolonging, it felt like a bad date that never ended, but i hoped it would get better. Apparently, I should have looked at the reviews first, because it was so annoying to listen to how "beautiful" the main character was, like she somehow was only defined by her beauty, and the plot had SO much potential but was so poorly executed I will likely never read another one of Mary Kubicas books again. The writing style was annoying, and I dont know if its because i was listening to it, it because I just dont like the style. It was overall pretty disappointing as far as peaks and climaxes of plots go. Genuinely felt like a waste of time.

 Well written and well read (audiobook). A few twists but pretty predictable.
