Aside from the main character this book had a lot of potential. But I felt like a lot of the choices she made were just so horribly stupid it made her unlovable as a character.

Like even if you thought someone could be framing you

…the choices she was making made her look awful. Straight dumb and you’re supposed to be a doctor ma’am? I felt like I was yelling at her the entire book. The overall storyline is actually good if you can get over the personality of the main character.

Enjoyed the premise, thought most of the first half was fun and intriguing in a very typical crime thriller way, then the main character acted so stupid that I hated it and almost DNF’d, then the ending was so whack and camp that I loved it. Rollercoaster ride of an experience.
