I found the first part of this book really hard to get through, it definitely felt like it  dragged a little. Part two was a lot more thrilling and grabbed my attention. By the time I got to part two the plot of the book became pretty predictable and I knew how the story would end. I still enjoyed the story and as it was a quick read I didn’t mind that it dragged a little.

The first book club selection of the year went by fast! The book starts at the end and you are left to try and piece it together before it is all over. You definitely are led to believe the story will take you one way and then it takes you another. I don't want to spoil it, but it doesn't go exactly how I anticipated it would at the start.

Was this the best book I'll read this year? No. But I definitely enjoyed the ride and would recommend it to others (who are ok with the large number of content warnings applied here).
