A fast moving plot line that kept you interested. Some plot twists that I did not see coming. However, the book moved so fast it didn’t bother going too deeply into some plot lines. It was kind of a soap opera where everything and anything happens and it moves on so quick.
the whole Norah storyline with Kevin was a bit pointless. It was brought up every now and then. Forgotten about for a while and then as soon as she speaks about it the whole thing gets sorted and tied neatly in a little bow. Also with Alicia and Meera’s relationship there was a whole oh we are only friends I want more but I don’t know and then as soon as she rocks up randomly they instantly move past that and they’re together in a committed relationship, it just didn’t make any sense apart from ticking that storyline off.
it was a quick and easy read. Love the close to home location since it was in the same state I live in. Not a bad read but not a good one either.
