The first two sections of this novel were addictive, fast-paced, and intriguing. Thrash’s narrative was witty and propulsive, and I figured the entire book would be a rollercoaster. 

Unfortunately, the last third was unlike the first two, in that it was slower and it meandered. Many scenes felt unnecessary and ultimately the book dragged. I almost loved this book.  I’ll read Maggie Thrash’s next work for sure.
