I put off reading this book for the longest time, but this book had me hooked from the first chapter. The pacing was fast, and I couldn’t stop turning the pages. Even when things felt off or uncomfortable, I still wanted to see what would happen next. That’s the kind of pull this story had.

The characters were messy, flawed, and at times hard to understand. Some of their decisions felt unrealistic or frustrating, but that chaos added to the suspense. There were moments that made me uncomfortable, especially with how certain relationships were portrayed, but I think that was intentional.

The plot had a few holes and not everything added up perfectly in the end, but the ride was wild. Some twists I saw coming, others completely threw me.

It’s not a perfect book, but it’s a gripping one. I breezed through it whilst in the hospital room, probably wouldn't have enjoyed it as much if I wasn't so bored during the long waits at my hospital appointment.
