The main character Margot is okay to read about, but her story just came so easy to her you can tell that it got cut down to simple straightforward answers every time.
The many twists and red herrings never felt interesting enough to draw you in and the only character that felt like a real person was Krissy. Every other person felt like a charicture of an actual crime and that just feels icky to read.
I was so close to having my first DNF, but I persevered, but at what cost?
Crying score: No no no.
