My rating system:
5 Stars - Fabtastic! Would re-read.
4 Stars - Enjoyable read but probably wouldn’t re-read.
3 Stars - Neutral
2 Stars - Didn’t really enjoy but wanted to finish. The cover roped me in.
1 Stars - Couldn’t finish.

This book kept me guessing what was going to happen next which I love. I will say the actions of the Erin would sometimes have me screaming out loud ‘WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOIN’?! She’s like that child you tell not to do something but they still go behind your back and do anyways. But on the same side I wanted her to do it because I wanted to see what crazier muck we could dip into. Over all a pretty good book in my opinion.

Kinda predictable no real twist and minute details I didn’t need plus the main character was hard to like

I remember liking this one, but felt the author went into too much detail in some parts.

It is an okay book, providing no challenges. The only relevant takeaways are:
- british gangsters are eternally sexy, bless their cockney hearts
- never date a soy boy banker who only blablas about money and investment bullshit, not only because he is corrupt and boring, but also because he is useless around the house
- british gangsters are the shit

This book is, let's say, more bearable if you unplug your brain in various locations. That will never be in a novel's best interest if you ask me.

Fun book, for the most part. A little of the
Spoiler characters are being super dumb that makes me want to stop reading
but read the entire thing while traveling to Japan (with the last 2 chapters being on the skyliner train)

I enjoyed this story and was entertained by the plot. This story felt relatable to me in the sense that I kept imagining what I would do as each new situation unfolded.
