TJR knows how to write a book that hooks you. This is the second book I read by her and she was able to write a book that kept me guessing. I always enjoy how unpredictable this book was. I will say, this left me feeling a bit dirty or guilty? I think it's because of all the manipulation that happened. If I heard someone go through all the manipulation that happened, I'd say "Wow, what a mess". Clearly, I can't handle all the drama lol.

Anyways, gave it 4 stars since I wish I learned more about the relationships. I found that the relationships were portrayed shallowly. I wasn't able to completely understand her relationships and I wanted to empathize with her decisions a bit more.
