I get it now why people say they want to close a book, flip it back over, and then begin reading again. This book was very interesting, but it left me with unanswered questions. Five minutes of reading this book and I was hooked. I popped in the audiobook and stood by my bed listening because I was too captivated to get in bed and be comfortable. LOL! This book is so entertaining; sure it's not a deep read, but is so fast-paced that you feel as though you are speeding in the backseat of a taxi and the driver jumps out because there are no breaks and your locks don't work. Enjoy! :)

Made me say what the actual fuck at the end of that! You never know where the twists are going to go when you open a Freida book and that's what I love about her books.
