There were points this book kept my attention and the overall premise was interesting, but ultimately the execution left something to be desired. Many of the characters were pretty one dimensional, the men were all a bit sleazy. The writing was often repetitive, and I feel like if the first half of the book had been condensed to a quarter of the length it would have been a more cohesive story.
