I was going to give this a 4 but the ending left me questions moving it back down to 3.5. A pretty good thriller that kept me invested for most of the book. There were parts of the ending that I really did not understand.

Note: I'd just like to mention that I admire how the author takes her time to humanize homeless people and anyone else who is in a situation in which they feel trapped rather that be literally or figuratively. I also admire how she took the topic of BDSM delicately and didn't dehumanize it and prioritize that acts like those are only harmful when they're nonconsensual.

I'm torn on rating this book, I enjoyed that it delved into deeper topics, but I also found it a bit predictable at times. I'd say I predicted at least half the twists.
I enjoyed the happy ending, but I felt it wrapped up too quickly for how drawn out other elements were.
