Don’t let the suppressed rating fool you, this book was very fun. Our narrator Evie is so fun to root for and she brings some amazing sidekicks into her adventures. 

I just don’t think his kind of thriller genre is my thing. While the characters and stories are twisty and fun, everything is just vague enough and everything coming together in a way that’s just a touch too neat. I think the flashbacks, again while fun, made the book set-up just a tad too convenient. 

Would recommend.
