There was so much packed into this novel. I'm not even sure I'd call this a thriller, it felt more like literary fiction with some suspensful and thrilling elements.
It was interesting, I feel like I learned a lot, but often time all the legalities and music talk went over my head. Reading about all the accusations and laws and how all of that works in the UK was at the same time frustrating, tiring, confisng and aggravating, but the bottom line is that to me, it makes no sense, but I guess that is the sign that it's actually real, and not a product of author's imagination.
I didn't really like any of the characters except for Gabe, who was surprisingly loveable and reasonable. Susie was an idiot who I could not stand and she does not deserve Gabe.
I truly don't know how I feel about this book afrer finishing it. It was extremely readable, just like all JP Delaney's books, there were definitely some interesting parts of it, but overall it was also a very tiring and frustrating experience and ultimately, it covered way too many topics I don't care about - celebrities, music, pregnancy and laws about adoption. It was well written and well researched, though.
