There was absolutely zero research on the law or the police force. One episode of Law & Order was watched to complete this monstrosity of a novel. I am glad that this was free and I did not pay for it because that would have been a complete waste of my working girl money.
Here is a list of everything that I was confused about and/or also hated about this book:
- The way Adam describes women
- He only sees them as sex objects and he has a one-track mind when it comes to any woman
- He kisses people for no reason and harassed them numerous times, it was sickening
- Adam Morgan is a literal monster
- He attempts to justify cheating on Sarah (which seeing how Sarah ends up, he shouldn't have)
- Adam is a complete and utter shame to any good man that has ever existed in all of human existence
- His drinking problem becomes a main aspect of the story for literally no reason. This novel consisted of a full chapter of him drinking, only for it to lead absolutely nowhere.
- He has NOOO brain!
- This man does stupid stuff for no reason - why do you trust every single person that steps into your life? You should know yourself what a trustworthy person is not based on your own personality.
- Adam, you can't even trust yourself, bro.
- The worst plot twist I have ever read.
- Think about any one character and it is probably them.
- Happened in the last ten pages.
- I hate Sarah.
- Each and every single one of these characters needs psychological help
- Most of them are obvious, including, Adam, Sarah, Anne
- Honorable mentions: Eleanor, Matthew, Bob, all of the police officers, Kelly, Scott, Rebecca
- Random flashbacks
- Details of Sarah being rich
- Adam's failed writing career
- How long does this story go on? Like in a sense of time.
- Useless characters and metaphors
- Everyone sounds and looks the same
- Adam escaping
- Ants and nature
- No man can keep it in his pants
- Again, the plot twist
- The four-in-one murders
- Kelly
- The end of it
- Robert Miller
- Sarah mentions her being the best attorney and then she turns around and becomes the worst one by every second
- her unprofessionalism
- her terrible character
- unreliable narrator, worse than Adam
- wanting to have sex with every man in the book
- uses her sex appeal to her advantage, but then embarrasses herself because it never works and she looks bad
- NO man is worth this and she knows it
I hope no one suffers as much as I did by reading this!

5.0
It was building up to be a happy ending and then something terrible happened and I thought I was going to hate the book because of the unhappy ending… And then there was a very sudden plot twist that I just adore and it went right back up to five stars again. Would definitely recommend, I would definitely read again!!
Graphic: Blood, Death, Infidelity, Murder, and Toxic relationship
