A very fun book that goes into the details of someone’s entrée into the underground world of deception — similar to parts of Gone Girl in that respect. There are some dark emotional themes but overall book has a relatively fun and light feeling, considering the topics.

It's been a long time since I read something where I wanted to scream at the main character this much. But at the same time, this definitely kept me engrossed and turning the pages. Didn't love the ending and certain things felt a little unbelievable, but not a bad time overall.
