Iffy book. The non con “romance” set my teeth on edge and was very close to SA. Zades obsession with Addie is off putting and her response to him is unrealistic at best. However the sub plot of solving Gigi's murder is captivating and was my favourite part. The writing could be better and the nicknames could be less cringy (little mouse and kitty cat - really?). Overall not the worst book I’ve read this year but I wouldn’t reread.
