This book was WILD. It was truly like watching a train wreck - I knew it was going to be bad and I was powerless to stop it, but I could not look away. It was a very un-put-down-able book. I will say that pretty much all of the characters were unlikable, especially Sophie (I believe a referred to her as a “dumb drunk b*tch” out loud multiple times while reading).

I also did not like that Harold just weirdly reappeared at the end (I thought he would be much more significant to the plot) and it seemed like Brad faced no consequences whatsoever for his role in everything. Also, all of the underage relationships gave me serious ick.

Some of the writing was also just… not good, for lack of a better descriptor.

So if you like a wild, suspenseful ride that’s basically Mean Girls with guns…this is a good one!
