"New money, suit and tie
 I can read you like a magazine 
Ain't it funny, rumours fly
And I know you heard about me
So hey, let's be friends
I'm dying to see how this one ends
Grab your passport and my hand
I can make the bad guys good for a weekend "  - Taylor Swift 


Nothing is ever as pure as it seems at first glance, there is always something more complicated to be found if you peel back the unmarred surface of pretty things.

A slow burn which turned the tables fast and became quite intriguing. Very well written and well done. Unexpected and unexpectedly believable!

Can't wait for Nicole Kidman to star and produce this books adaptation into streaming Amazon series.
