I liked this book, but it did get off to a slow start. I might have DNF'd it had it not been for a book club. I liked the characters, even though they weren't really good people. There were twists that I didn't anticipate, and things that I guess wrong about.
SpoilerI didn't see the Mr. Smith is George thing coming. I thought Ryan was Mr. Smith.
. I also wonder about the future.
SpoilerSince Evie and Ryan are both 'shady' and they know it, how much do they really trust each other? Does Ryan know about Evie's Miss Smith operation?
