While this is a twisty mystery thriller with multiple POVs, none of the main characters are particularly likable. And the men are quite misogynistic and obsessed with women and sex, it was like half the men's POVs were describing the woman's bodies sexually especially the breasts and how clothes fit them. I hope all men aren’t like these men on the inside! Even the women whose POVs you got weren't likable. Basically, all the MCs were trash human beings.
I only gave a high-ish rating because the overall plot was good even if the characters while detailed and complex, were unlikable, and the book had an overall misogyny to it.

I was surprised by one twist halfway through the book, didn't see that one coming at all. Two other twists were nicely done. But the rest? Very predictable, and therefore not very exciting.
I think my main issue was that I didn't care for the characters that much, especially Ted. His story line was way too boring, and it was hard for me to root for him. But it's not a bad book, and definitely not the worst one I read by this author. It just wasn't as good as people made me believe.
