It’s been a while since I read Reckless Girls, but I remember enjoying that book much more than I did this one. It’s a page-turner, but not really a twisty thriller. And the romance/not-romance didn’t really do much for me. Still, it was a fun quick read. I couldn’t put it down mainly because I wanted to watch this dumpster fire play out till the end. 

And I still haven’t read anything by the Brontës. Guess I need to get on that.
