Harry was totally unnecessary. He did not need to be in the book at all! The book was about Alice (and Jake) even though it starts off making it seem like Harry is going to be the mc. Too much filler around Harry and his friend and a couple other totally irrelevant characters I could have done without.
It just felt like a lot of random things thrown together to make a twisty story that ends WILDLY lol omg. I actually liked the very end for Alice as it was entertaining and overall satisfying but obviously pretty wild.
Also, it boils down to a book about women who like older men (1 at least for sure bc of a traumatic upbringing) and 2

This is going to be short and sweet, this book grossed me out with the number of underage people being manipulated into sexual situations. It just shows the cycle of abuse that continues generation after generation from men and women. The book moves at a fast-paced and is split into two timelines and I preferred the “then” timeline. I will say the middle point “twist” shocked me and I liked the direction the story took from there. I did see the end reveal coming but I still think it was done well and made the most sense. So far my least favorite showing from this author.
