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!

Struggled to connect with any of the characters, far fetched plot points and it really dragged. Lazy character development, triggering content just casually mentioned (honestly would not have read if I knew it included sa & rape)
6 quotes on the front and back cover of this book and all of them are lies. There’s nothing thrilling, compelling or moving about this book.
Not sure why it was necessary to have a horny dog. The singing thing was a bit cringe and just didn’t feel like it matched the character. In general wasn’t really rooting for anyone or expecting anything so the ending wasn’t really disappointing, just empty.
