Not to be exceedingly callous but this book feels like it’s a 17 year old’s first novel posted on wattpad chapter by chapter. All THAT for a man??? One poorly written cliché after another. Also hated the way the women were written lmao and Flo was such an upsetting character like why do crime novels always have to hinge on memory loss and emotional instability? Anyway at least it was a super quick read (and I admit I was morbidly curious about how much more it could annoy me enough to keep from DNFing) even though sometimes it did kind of feel like pulling teeth. Think if you like crime novels this is a good one to pick up in the airport and read on the plane only to leave it behind for the next flyer
