I understand that it was short and the storyline was meant to be compelling, but the way the main characters were shipped together so quickly made me uncomfortable. It is a enjoyable lighthearted read if you turn your brain of long enough (and nothing wrong with that) but reading certain characters interact ect made me want to murder them personally and I'm a pacifist. All in all the female lead is a better person than I'll ever be.
This book did show, successfully the deep and real ways that addiction, toxic family relationships and abuses of power due to the justice system really well. It was some great writing too, enough to make me mad as f***! The resolution just wasn't enough for me to have gone through the 5 stages of grief then come back to such calm acceptance? Did I mention the female lead is a better person than me?
