I really wanted to love this book but it just was too much for me. The first few chapters were captivating and interesting but then about 30 percent I felt nothing was happening. Really I think at this point we were over developing the Lucy character but in turn neglecting Sloan and Nicole. The book then continues to drag on really focusing on Lucy and them bam 80 percent in the whole mystery is resolved. There were multiple twists to the point I was saying "but wait there is more..." but not in a good way. Also at this point though I did feel a bit bored with the book. It at times felt like a stretch which wasn't helpful. I enjoyed the writing style so I'm not giving up hope on this author
