I really enjoyed the author's style of writing. The dialogue and the pace of the story were good. I hurried through the book because I wanted to get out of the story's world as soon as possible. It wasn't a thriller as much as it was just perfectly awful to be a part of the main character's terrible journey. I did not enjoy the trip. Additionally, I felt like there was no catharsis at the end; the main character didn't seem to get any real revenge. Any consequences had by the villain happened "off-screen". We didn't get to experience that like we did the psychological torture of the main character. It was wrapped up in a few summary paragraphs. So much time was spent on each little twist and torture device of the villain - to get the few lines of "this is what happened to her" at the end was really disappointing.

I have mixed feelings about this book. The stupidity of the main character was a little annoying and the narrator's voice was perfect to play her and her naivete. It still draws you because you want to know how she's going to get herself out of that mess... It was a good listen for the most part.

I just couldn't get into it. Maybe it was the wrong time?

I gave it two stars because I cared enough to finish it. The writing was pretty awful, so awkward and choppy. The pacing and transitions between scenes were abrupt and sometimes confusing. And the dialogue was laughably unrealistic and cliched. Overall, this book felt like a made for TV movie from the late 90's.
The concept for the plot isn't bad. It was just very poorly executed.

An interesting read from the first page! What happens if you accidentally kill someone who’s in the road on a rainy night AND you are both stoned and drunk? Would you turn yourself in? I read this blindly forgetting what the summary said. And I’m glad I did! These types of plots always give me anxiety! Kat is in for some major trouble, and you’ll be dying to know if she can possibly get out of it! I read two whole books in a short day, and this was one of them. It’s so easy to leave, but it’s also gripping! Recommended!

I have never been so annoyed by a main character before this book. Kat was whiny and weak, and was acting helpless most of the book. I wanted to shake her and tell her to snap out of it! Just…meh. It was a quick read but I found myself glossing over sections just so I could finish it without poking a fork into my eye from the frustration.
