Saoirse Sorkova, the protagonist of this novel, is rude, abrasive, hypocritical, murderous, and a liar. I absolutely love her. Saoirse is the most instantly engaging and charismatic characters I've found in a very long time. Gabi Burton gives her a strong and distinctive voice that gives the narrative a unique feel that drew me into the story immediately. 

While I really like that Saoirse had an unconventional found family, I do wish we had gotten more of them so that the reader could care about them and their wellbeing as much as our heroine did. As it stands, I cared more about the new relationships she developed in the book since we got comparatively more content for them. In particular, I loved the romance between Saoirse and Hayes. It was very much a grumpy/sunshine dynamic with the unique twist of the woman filling the grumpy role while the man was sunshine. 

I very much look forward to the sequel.
