I enjoyed this book but I found I started to get a little bit bored by the end. I’m not sure if this is because I listened to the audiobook, which is a format I’m still getting used to, or if the book was just a bit too long for the story. I thought the narrator, Mela Lee, did a great job of portraying the characters though, and I did feel engaged and invested in them earlier in the story, but I just felt it started to meander a little in the end.
The characters were really interesting and I loved the personality and dynamic contrasts between Eva, Audrey and Lisette - especially Audrey who added a fun, sarcastic edge to the story. I also thought the flashbacks and back stories of Eva and Shane were intriguing, despite very sad, and I enjoyed learning about their early relationship. Lisette was an infuriating character, and I felt a lot of empathy for Eva throughout.
Overall, an enjoyable read with engaging characters, but not one I’d rush to re-read.
