Book was a bit boring in my opinion. Overall I did finish it but I skimmed a lot of the parts just to see what would happen. 

The start of the book does really pull you in but as others have said her character teeters on James Bond-like which makes the story less relatable/realistic.

Good story and plot line. There was small bits in the story that just didn't seem necessary like the sexual activity with Brazuca but overall the story was good. I think it missed having a reunion of some kind with Bonnie but I understand that there is likely a follow on book or this may have happened to show that Nora's initial intentions were only ever to find Bonnie and make her safe, not to build a relationship. The short chapters really paced the book well but the parts / sections didn't really make sense as I didn't feel they were sectioning areas or specific time periods. 

Overall, a well-paced story that was worth reading!
