Started a little slow and I worried there would be too many characters to keep track of after several were introduced in the first few pages. The main characters though were clear and the book soon became very difficult to put down. This is in part due to the story being told from multiple character perspectives and some very short chapters making it is easy to read 'just one more'. 

Overall, an enjoyable read with likeable characters.
