I wanted to give up in the first half ngl. I don't want to be unking towards Molly but I can't lie, it was frustrating reading her come to the wrong conclusions every. Single. Time. Molly reads as autistic (which is why I dont want to be rude) but...in a very stereotypical way that feels a little weird (likewise with making your undocummented mexican immigrant character be forced to work in a drug trafficking operation... ).
I genuinely had to detach myself a little from the book bc I tend to get really anxious for the characters and I really wanted to finish it.
It got better after the 55% markwhen Molly gets arrested and Mr. Preston, Charlotte and Juan Manuel start to help her. I really loved the way they became a little found family 🥺🥺🥺 ("found", really, bc who do you think you're decieving Mr. Preston?) . I also was genuinely surprised by the two plot-twists at the end, and I really liked the ending in general, tho it also felt a little unrealistic, but I dont know US laws (or UK? It was never super clear to me where the book was set). Will I continue the series tho? I don't think so.
