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!

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!

I tried to push through this book. However the info dumping and the cringy attempt at making Alice seem like a menace made it hard.
