This was fun and pretty fast-paced.
I didn't like how it wrapped up but really enjoyed before the underwhelming conclusion.

This was so chaotic. Did Cassie make want to throw my book against a wall? Yes. Was I absolutely captivated by her chaos? Obviously!
Fun, quick and absurd read that will infuriate you in a good way. 4/5⭐️

Oh Cassie.... At the heart of the story is a troubled woman with a lousy past who could drink a ship of sailors to shame and enjoys the thrill and danger of one-night-stands. But somehow, in some odd way, there is something endearing about her. She's not a bad person, even though she's somewhat of a floozy and a kleptomaniac as well. She's flawed, but fun. She's worked as a flight attendant all her life and on a recent trip to Dubai she meets a tender, sweet man -- drinks herself to oblivion and wakes up next to him in his hotel room with a humdinger of a hangover and her tender, sweet man, lying next to her - dead as a doorknob.
Cassie is very good at lying. She's done it all her life and turned it into an art form. And what ensues is Cassie being Cassie, with espionage, double agents, Russians, oligarchs, hedge funds, attorneys, FBI, and more.
What I didn't particularly like was the ending - and I won't say more to avoid spoilers, but it just didn't satisfy. The rest was not-put-downable!
