4.0

I really enjoyed watching this good girl go bad. It was fascinating being in the mind of her boss too. It’s fun to watch the twists and turns and try to guess who will come out on top. I didn’t love the ending but it wasn’t bad either. I did like the mini twist of the baby. I don’t get the fascination with jimmy or any of the men but it kept me hooked!

Stellar premise, not-for-me execution. I finished it because I wanted to know what happened, but thankfully this was a quick one because it did not hit.

The cast of characters, the settings, the plot, the dialogue-all written so well! Nothing felt anachronistic and pulled you out of the story. Would give a higher rating but I just didn’t like the characters, but they were well written!

This book was tough for me. It took me a bit over 50 pages to really click with the writing and it moved pretty slowly for the first half of the novel. I also felt like some trigger warnings were really necessary, for sexual assault and a somewhat forced adoption. There were some continuity issues with dates that could’ve used some editing too. Overall, the story was interesting, but it’s not a book I’d pick up again.
