I enjoyed most of this book but I found part 2 very challenging to read.
I think it had a great build up but after the first major plot twist I struggled to change my feelings about a character that had been written to be unlikeable. The manipulation and emotional abuse were particularly unenjoyable to read.
The ending was good but I think there were too many sudden plot twists right at the end of the book.
