Trigger warnings: Stalking, infidelity.
This book was wildly unrealistic and equally entertaining and I loved every second of it. I appreciated that rather than alternating points of view, the story was told in more of a three section style, which made it easier to follow and allowed for more time to get invested in the character whose POV I was reading. I'm really impressed to learn that this is a debut author and I look forward to seeing more from her in the future!
