I really enjoyed this story. It was so fun and refreshing, so why such a low rating?
A few things confused me while reading this story, namely, why don't these rich people have kidnapping insurance? Ik it's not like common knowledge, but so many rich people/billionaires have it. I would've expected at least Henry to mention it.
Speaking of Henry, I was really looking forward to learning the depth of his character, any secrets minus his daddy issues. I wanted to know his background too, learn more about his sister, etc. He kinda just felt flat in my opinion. Hell even Chanel had more information than him.
Also Alice was really annoying to me. Like i understand the drive and the need to prove yourself and all that, but idk she just irritated the crap out of me. I almost DNFed because Alice was so annoying. I didn't because I needed to learn more about Henry, then eventually Alice stopped being annoying and it was fine.

portapages's review against another edition
writing feels clumsy and expository. characters felt flat. after the first few chapters, i jumped around a little to see if it changes enough for me to want to continue reading. i did find the plot got more exciting, and i was interested to know more about what happens, but the writing did not sustain my interest.
i'm sure the plot is riveting though, and might give it a try again another time.

A really fun book with a very interesting main character. My only problem was the ending was just a little to cheesy and unbelievable.
