3.0

Intriguing plot concept, not the best execution. I really hate it when you can tell a female character has been absolutely written by a man—and this book has many (many!!!) of them. That writing treatment also highlighted the fact that this book centers on primarily women, as though sad single women are the only ones who would be intrigued by the match idea. Idk, very quick paced engrossing thriller, but not very satisfying for the fact that it wasn’t too hard to put it all together-making it rank right in the middle for me
