This was a great quick and fun debut novel and it really hooks you in at the first chapter and does not let up through to the end. Our protagonist is great and so easy to root for, and I am so excited to see where her story goes in the next installment. I just wish I had more time to spend and sit with these characters to learn more about them, their thoughts, motivations, and backgrounds because they are definitely a group of complex characters. I would definitely recommend!
