sad
tense
slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
A mix
Strong character development:
No

No
Diverse cast of characters:
No
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
UGH. No. If it engaged me maybe I could’ve gotten to 3, but this was mostly a waste of time. I hated the characters, I hated the useless sex scenes, I hated the dialogue. I hated it. Flynn does write some beautiful lines that I did, I do admit, enjoy. But this is not a good story, it is not a good thriller, it is not a good mystery, and it is not a good book. Yuck.
