This book wasn’t bad, just not really great. The plot seems compelling but the book just kind of went by in a haze for me, and it wasn’t necessarily a memorable one.
The relationship between Big Swiss and Greta just didn’t feel believable, and while I don’t think it’s a relationship to root for, it just didn’t feel like it would happen in the first place. The ending kind of came out of nowhere as well, and while there seemed to be character development on Greta’s part, it felt so last minute and didn’t really have a root to it.
