Undeniably excellent. Will make you bawl like a baby. I am wrecked from finishing this.
I found it difficult to get into, but it really picks up the pace around halfway through. Properly feminist, with a large cast of truly badass and believably flawed female characters. But perhaps my favorite aspect of this book is the twists; I love a story about a good liar. I also found it thoroughly interesting how the author made the antagonists fully fleshed out characters so that you feel sympathy for them. So well-written.
