There was very little suspense in this book since we find out right away that Mia is rescued. All the characters were flat and two dimensional (especially the dad who was cartoonishly bad). There was really nobody I was rooting for or even cared about. I guessed the "twist" about a third of the way in and it wasn't even a good one because it left me very annoyed. Also, the not so subtle anti-choice talk coming from Eve and the racism/classism when describing people of color was gross.
