This was quite a read!! Honestly, if it wasnt for having to stick to a readalong schedule i would have had this read in a few hours. I was immediately hooked and found it almost impossible to put down.  I loved it. The story is told through three POV: Ella is trying to turn her life around but is suddenly down on her luck thinking someone from her past is out for revenge, Harriet has everything and make sure it stays that way, and Nisha, who feels it's about time she gets what she is owed. So many secrets are ready to come out, and it's very much a case of when crazy meets insane!! The writing was incredibly detailed, though not overpowering, to the point where you could imagine putting yourself in the characters shoes thoughout. I can't say i liked any of them but there were definitely times that i found myself cheering them all on at different stages. The only issue I had was finding the ending a tiny bit unsatisfying. Mainly because it went in a completely different direction to what I expected and hoped for. However, the fast pace and all the drama made up for that. I'm 100% going to read more of Jackie's work.
