I feel like I didn't necessarily love this book, but I didn't hate it either. I really enjoyed reading about each of the characters Andre, Chloe, and Charles' different perspectives of what's going on around them and how each of them feel and think. I feel like the bigger part of the story was how each of the characters interact with other, what they think about each other, and how they're psychopaths their own ways. Unfortunately, it wasn't the most terribly gripping or surprising, especially towards the end. I feel like it fell flat for me and I felt like there are still some loose ends. What's Emma's deal? Why was Wyman meeting with her? Was it Trevor or Megan doing all of the sabotage? I think that Charles and Chloe's relationship/frenemie-ship/friendship was a bit interesting to read, and her telling him how no one will love the darker, psychotic side of him like someone who knows what it's like is.....CRAZY. I wish we could've got more insight with Andre, especially seeing as, at least to me, he wasn't very psychotic, at least compared to Trevor, Chloe, and Charles. I also wish we got more insight earlier into the novel about Wyman's obsession with CRD and the twins, so that the twins being involved can carry and build throughout the story, instead of it developing around the last 80% of the book.
