I ended up really loving this? I was kind of surprised because I had already seen the movie so I thought I would be less invested. But I loved it!! The narrator is fantastic, I loved the characters.
There are a lot of characters to keep track of, but it gets easier through the book.

I would say the one issue I had was when Rachel believed these people she had just met instead of her mom. That made absolutely zero sense to me... 
But the rest was great.

Note for the minor TW I have listed, they are mentioned as part of a story a charafter tells. But it's important to note they come up.

A fun engaging read! I was flying through the pages wanting to find out how it would all end up. I loved the protagonists and loved hating on everyone who was trying to get in their way. 

Kevin does a wonderful job of painting beautiful scenes of decadence and riches, whilst also leaving the reader with so much information that our hero and heroine just don't know! Makes for a thrilling race to all the revelations needed to bring this book to a close. Definitely up for reading the rest of the series and cannot wait to see how the movie compares!
