I was on the edge of my seat reading this book. It was so good. I especially loved the way TJR threaded between each characters’ lives, both past and present, and how it all led up to the explosive end. It felt like I read the book in five minutes. My only drawback was I did not love the ending with Nina. I thought it was a relatively flat conclusion to a great, complex character.
