Good but some of her other books are definitely better
It was engaging but the ending was far too predictable to give it a great rating. I think the "way out" of the predicament in the story was just too easy. Not much fallout when Delia found out what had happened to her. It was interesting to read the various 1st person accounts- the change in font helped keep them straight but that began to feel more like a gimmick once it became clear who Victor was going to be- which was almost immediately after he entered the story.
So many flawed characters and yet, it’s what you love about them. And the writing strikes the reader sometimes with beautiful thoughts.
“You give her all your French fries, even when she won’t give back onion rings. And when you say her name it sounds different. Like it’s covered with blankets.”

I really enjoyed this one! A quick summer read with a good plot.
I didn't like this as much as her others. I listened to this and I really zoned out during Andrew's bits. The part about how to make meth really disturbed me, mainly because I have a cousin who was in prison for making and selling meth. There were some cliches that I was a bit disappointed that she did. I guessed all the twists in this book.
