This book was a treat . I found this to be a medium to fast pace read . I liked the build up of the story before the twist hits . How these unlikable characters somehow get explained . I liked how it showed that life isn't black and white . I rated it 4.5 stars for those reasons . I didn't rate it five because I felt like there was points where the pace did drag for me . I do reccomend this for anyone looking for a good fun female empowered thriller . Check trigger warnings .
