3.0

Well written, fast-paced and gripping but didn’t live up to my expectations. Written by a Brit but seemed very American. I’m angry with how this book ended, I am also angry with the fact the author didn’t include any trigger warnings, nor was there an mention on the fact that force yourself upon someone is wrong and rape! I am disgusted that this book made no mention that it isn’t ok. It’s not a thriller that will stand out for the right reasons.
