I found myself exasperated with the main character on more than one occasion, though she is young and I do feel it is realistic on a lot of levels.  I was surprised more didn’t happen in the book? But I think that may just be a skewed perspective from recent back to back thrillers. Something about it kept me reading despite the flaws in the writing. You do get answers/resolution which I appreciate, even though I do feel like the way they’re presented felt a bit abrupt and predictable.
