I didn’t see the twist coming in this book. I was convinced I had it narrowed down to 3 people but, nope I was totally wrong. A pleasant surprise since so many “who done it” stories can be predictable.

The main character Sydney though, was a mess. I couldn’t figure out if she was genuinely stupid or just utterly naive. Her obsessive quest to find a man made her an absolute liability. She continually put herself in dangerous situations which she was mostly ignorant to. I wanted to give her a good slap back to reality about the obvious dangers of the dating world. She clearly had an inane talent for turning a blind eye to HUGE red flags. 

A real page turner. Easy and quick to read.
