I enjoyed this read! The plot's subtle twists kept me intrigued and wanting more. Lucky's character development was interesting to follow as well. I could totally see a movie adaptation of this around the bend!

This book kept me interested. This was out of my normal comfort zone, but I enjoyed the dual timelines and how it all wraps up in the end.
