This is my first book by this author and I must say I enjoyed her writing style and how she dives into her characters.
I liked how it was a fast paced thriller/ mystery and not a book I had to over think. The characters were diverse and took some figuring out (in a good way). I also enjoyed getting to read in reverse; as this book is written with the big “events” in the beginning and you read back in time to find out how everything came to be as it was.
The only cons for me was trying to remember that I was reading in reverse because sometimes you would forget and something would either not make sense (yet) or with the way they were segmented in time frames it was hard to realize things were not happening in real time. So settings and characters were hard to track for me.
