A nice easy read thriller, lots of good twists and red herrings. I really enjoyed the complex character relationships and I think Scarlett was written really well as a 15 year old trying to navigate the end of childhood and the start of becoming an adult.
The pacing was good and there was a definite build up of tension throughout the book that made me keep reading. Another thing I really liked was that the setting was Manchester so I could easily imagine all the places being described.
The only part of the book that wasn't up to par for me was the ending, I just found it a little be rushed and didn't think it was particularly satisfying - I was hoping for more, but that's just my opinion.
