This was amazing, action-packed, and thrilling! For sure a page-turner! However, I definitely think this is more a thriller than a contemporary fiction. There is also a lot of trauma and heavy topics involved so definitely check trigger warnings.
Liked the main character. She is very morally grey. I also liked the friendship between the three, and the bisexual representation.
The story is told in current and past timeline, and that makes it interesting. The only thing that I didn't like about this book was that the past timeline wasn't told chronologically. This sometimes made it confusing, especially because the main character went by different names.
