It was like fine. It was slow for like the first 60% of the book (all of Part 1) and then overall it was just so predictable.
It was also aggravating because Millie kept making stupid decisions (until the ending) and Nina could've done things way better than what she did. The best part was when Millie basically made him kill himself, like finally something smart and she popped off! Although, once again Nina was freaking rude as shit for just like putting another woman in that position in the first place. Lastly, I knew that mother was the one who instilled this in him from the moment we met that bitch (hence her ending comments to Nina were not a surprise). I'm glad I read the book but probably won't read the second one....
