It is SO EASY to hate Ciara. I really couldn’t stand her. She was self-centered, manipulative, and fake. She alludes to being an abused woman to her “best friend”, but she isn’t. There is very little that is redeeming about her at all and you have to look really hard to see it.
The other characters aren’t any easier to love. Lauren is jealous and insecure, Sean is an (old) playboy, the O’Briens never left elementary/middle school, Party is just indifferent. The only character I really liked at all was Mishti and she was very much a product of her strict upbringing. I wanted a great ending for her so badly.
There IS character development in there, for pretty much everyone but Ciara and Parth.
Overall, this book held my attention and I enjoyed it. It just wasn’t quite what I was expecting - I thought it was going to lean more thriller.
Thank you to @netgalley, the publisher, and the author for the ARC.
