“Do you know what philanthropist means?” Libby asked me seriously. “It means rich.”

Avery is a lonely girl, who loved to play games with her late mother and sleeps in her car when her sister’s abusive boyfriend is around. But all changes when she is named in the will of a puzzle loving billionaire and swept up in his last game, which she has to play with his four charming grandsons.

This book is written in short chapters with twist and turns on every page. This book is perfect for a busy life with little time to really sit down, or a good train read. Personally I like to read my books in a few sits and the short chapters and quick scene changes started to feel a little bit too all over the place.

  • Though this book is part of a trilogy and there is some set up for the next book, the ending does leave you satisfied.

I wouldn’t exactly call this a good book, nothing memorable or life changing happened and the only thing I highlighted is the quote above, but it kept me reading and I thought it was clever.
