While I found this book a little slow to start, I think the plot was interesting and the cast of characters were very well written. I thought each character had depth and helped to contribute to a different aspect or theme throughout the book. While at times the story was difficult to read because of the subject matter, it was still done in a way that made me want to keep reading, even if I felt like I needed to put it down for a little.

super fast and engaging read. good characters and plot. twist came early but still had a good ending twist. ending was good but cliffhanger-y (more or less of Lisa’s style)

Without giving too much away, some women will do anything to keep a man but find one who actually likes them. 🤦🏽‍♀️

The starting of the book was rather difficult to comprehend and follow but as the book went on it becomes extremely captivating, addicting and pulls you into the story like a finely woven web.
